My wife is in L2 visa and has SSN also, please let me know if she need EAD to work or she can work without EAD

Hi, my wife is in L2 visa and she has SSN also. Can you please tell us if she needs to get EAD for work? Or she can apply for job without EAD (as she has SSN)?

need to apply for EAD b

An EAD is required. At the time of employment form fill up, she will otherwise fail the I-9 qualifying test even if SSN card does not say ‘authorized to work only with INS permission’.

All the best
