Anothe article: when J2 can work - need apply for employment authorization.
J-2 visa holders (the spouses and dependent children of J-1's) may apply to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for permission to work in the United States. Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, part 214.2(j)(1(v) states that, "income from the spouse's or dependent's employment may be used to support the family's customary recreational and cultural activities and related travel, among other things. Employment will not be authorized if this income is needed to support the J-1 principal alien."
Application Procedures
The application for J-2 employment authorization includes:
* A letter to USCIS, explaining the reason for requesting employment authorization. (See the sample)
sample file is in http://www.oiss.yale.edu/visa/j2sample.pdf
* Completed Form I-765
* All copies of DS-2019 forms and I-94 cards (white card in the passport, both sides) for both J-1 and J-2 visa holders
* A copy of your J-2 visa stamp in the passport, and the passport page with your photo and information
* A personal check or money order for $175 payable to "USCIS" (A personal check is preferable because, if necessary, you will be able to determine if it has been cashed.b)
