This Link https://www.uscis.gov/i-765 has all the information needed for applying an EAD. I just printed the I-765 Form and the checklist and took a print of all the required documents and wrote a cheque and sent across to the address and got my EAD in 3 months. So, I had applied for L2 EAD for the first time on August, 2015. I got my EAD copy on November, 2015. My current EAD is valid till Oct, 2017 and I applied for renewal recently.

You are Welcome! I am really glad that my experience actually helped someone :)
hi there,
ur blog is really helpful. i am going to ask u some stupid questions but i need to knw as i am applying myself for the EAD.
-> have u written ur A-number and name on every sheet of document that u attached?
-> how did u bind all of them together? since i 765 form itself is 2 pages, did u staple those two sheets?
I am really confused on this. ur help will be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!
What is L2, EAD., if you aren’t a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you need to get special permission and authorization before you will be allowed to work in the U.S.
This is also only allowed for certain types of visas. The good news is l2 visa can apply for EAD or Employment Authorization Document and if approved, will be allowed to work in the U.S.A. So essentially an L2 gives visa holders the right to work in the U.S.A.
