QUESTION
If my husband and I are both H1B and I am quitting my job, can I adjust my status to L2 or must I be on H4?

You have no basis to get a L-2 if your husband is in H-1B status. You can only get L-2 if your spouse is in valid L-1 status. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

No, you would only be eligible for L-2 if your spouse was in L-1 status.

before you quit your H-1B job, you can apply to switch to any status for which you are qualified. If a person's spouse is on L-1, then that person can apply to switch from H-1B to L-2.

if your husband is H1, how can you change to L2? Must be the same category.
