Can I bring my spouse on a work visa?

Yes, in most cases, you can bring your spouse to the U.S. with you on a dependent visa.

The type of dependent visa depends on your work visa for example, H-1B workers’ spouses get H-4 visas.

Spouses of L-1 visa holders (L-2 visa) and certain others are allowed to work without needing a separate work permit.

Some dependent visas, like H-4, allow your spouse to live in the U.S. but not work unless they meet special conditions.
