It depends. In the US, extending a work permit (Employment Authorization Document or EAD) usually requires you to maintain valid visa status and meet the criteria for your specific visa category.

- Income alone is not a universal requirement for EAD extension, but showing proof of ongoing employment and financial stability (such as pay stubs or tax returns) can help support your case.
- The exact income threshold, like ₹ 1.5 lakh, is not a standard rule and requirements vary by visa type.

Requirements differ based on visa category and personal circumstances. For tailored guidance, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
