Hi all, I have a question concerning the EAD permit for J2 (dependent) visa holders. My wife started her Fulbright programme last year and it has been renewed lately for the next year. There's some paperwork to it and I wanted to ask how difficult is it to obtain it? The whole process is pretty much well described in the Internet but I'd like to have some actual info from the EAD J2 holders as well. I'm still waiting for my new Ds2019 form. Can I apply with the previous one (it's valid till mid June) with a note saying that the Programme has been officially prolonged? Or I need to wait for the new one, get new J2 visa in my country, fill all the papers only then and then wait for 4 months (=loose 4 months of the EAD)? I have not aplied for an EAD before. I would not use it to support anyone, I just need some cash to be able to travel to Mexico (nahuatl language academic interest) or just to have some more quality time than watching bettter call saul eating 2$ nachos :/. I thank you all in advance!
