L2 Visa Internship Guidelines
Summary
Minors on L2 visas in California can pursue internships with a work permit and USCIS authorization. Schools issue work permits to comply with state labor laws, while an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) from USCIS is needed for legal employment. Unpaid internships at non-profits may still require a permit, but volunteering is generally allowed without one. Consult an immigration attorney for personalized guidance and check with your school for specific procedures.Full Conversation

Oh so I can only work at school?
No, you don't only have to work at school. Once you have a work permit, you can work with approved employers outside of school. The school issues the permit, but it's for work opportunities outside of school, provided they comply with visa rules and regulations. Have you considered discussing potential internships with your school counselor or visa advisor?

Case Rating: *
In California, a work permit for minors is about compliance with state labor laws, while an L2 visa requires employment authorization from USCIS. Therefore, a school-issued work permit alone doesn't fulfill L2 requirements. You'd need both a work permit and USCIS authorization for employment.
