Any proposed hire must be genuine and the spouse must have appropriate work permission. A paper role should not be created merely to support the principal’s case.
Use the real staffing plan
Qualifying L spouses may work incident to appropriate status with required evidence. Pending plans do not establish that authorization or prove the vacancy has been filled.
Review the relationship documentation for the specific spouse and children involved, and do not assume that other family members connected to the business gain any status through this filing. Create a separate timeline for each accompanying person, including passports, relationship records, age, arrival date, study plans, and any proposed work. A mobility policy confirms that the family is covered for the assignment, meaning covered for shipping, schooling allowances and tax support, and the family reads that as permission to work. Children accompanying the family may generally study under the published guidance and hold no work permission through dependent status, and a child approaching twenty-one needs their own planning. The principal still must satisfy the qualifying relationship, foreign-employment, and managerial or executive requirements even when relatives share control.
