As a J2 dependent, what documents do you need for work authorization?

The I-765 documents and the Application for Employment Authorization are required documents for working as a J2 dependent. A letter outlining the reasons for requesting work authorization, a copy of the current J2’s DS-2019 and I-94, a copy of the J1’s current DS-2019, a copy of the J2’s passport, proof that the J2’s income will not support the J1 Visa holder, and two photos of the J2 dependent must all be included in the I-765 documents.
