Re: Dependent Visa

Once you are married, your husband can enter the US on L-2 status or change status to L-2 within the US. He will also be eligible to apply for work authorization while in L-2 status. This will allow him to work part time.

You can only bring him over on an L2 only once he is your husband. For the student questions there are a few that you will need to check with the school. As an L-2 he will be able to file for work authorization. The loan issue is not an immigration issue but instead a bank issue.
