No particular customer role is authorized merely by association with the principal. Assess the spouse’s own qualifying status and evidence; dependent children do not gain employment permission through L status alone.
Keep customer access and work permission distinct
A referral or facility credential does not change an individual’s immigration classification. Review actual employment plans for each adult separately. The dependent framework generally covers a spouse and unmarried children under 21; each person must obtain and maintain the appropriate status.
Record each family member's intended work or study plan and relevant dates, and confirm the spouse's actual documentation rather than assuming identical treatment regardless of category. Find out which category the spouse's occupation falls into in the specific state before the household budgets that income, and start any licensing application early, since it will run on its own timetable regardless of the immigration file. If the principal's position is affected, the dependants' position may follow it, and the order of work matters: the principal's question is resolved first and household plans are made against the answer rather than in parallel with it.
