L-2 Visa without EAD

Question details

I have come here with my husband who is on L-1 visa. I have L-2 visa. What work opportunities are there if I have no EAD. Second,I have gone to the office to get SSN. But the lady there told me that I don't require that and they refused to give me.What could be the reason I didn't get that. Can I apply for EAD if I don't have SSN? I'm here in US for 6 months. I want to work as I have done my MBA.

ANSWER

USCIS has to issue you an EAD (apply using Form I-765) and the SSA has to issue you an SSN. Once you have your EAD, you may work anywhere in USA at any job.
