You are not authorized to work until you receive your EAD. The SSN in and of itself is not employment authorization. I urge you to refrain from working before getting your EAD - it is employment without authorization and may have negative impact on your H-1B or other future immigration filings.

Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for L2 visa holders

L2 visa holder are eligible to work in USA, with a permission or approved EAD card. An approved EAD allows to work or business.

To obtain an EAD card, you must file the following documents with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):

** Complete Form I-765 , Application for Employment Authorization.

**Filing fee - Check or money order for $180 as of Oct 26, 2005.

**Two identical color photographs as per the acceptable specifications.

**Copy of your current passport

**Copy of the USCIS Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Document issued to you when you entered the U.S.

**Copy of L1 petition , I94 as a evidence that you are a spouse of the principal visa holder.

If you are married and if your spouse holds US citizenship then you can work on L2 without EAD.Otherwise you need to have EAD to get a job in US.

Without EAD,L2 Visa holder is not authorised to work in USA. If you do so, it may create problems in other filings like H1, Greencard, etc and your visa may be cancelled and asked to deport.Its always good to follow rules and be safe even if there are tempting offers to pay in cash.Have a good time!

Dear Mansi It is illegal to do a job with out EAD. If u do it and if u are caught then you will be in big trouble. SO don't ever take chance of doing a job without EAD. Anyway you can see the website USCIS.com to have full details about EAD. SO please go through that.
