Ripples Advisory, Trump admin urged to keep work permits for spouses of H-1B visa holders
Six Democratic lawmakers from the Silicon Valley have urged the Trump administration to retain Obama-era rule allowing spouses of H-1B visa holders to work legally in the US, according to a media report.
A 2015 rule issued by the Obama administration allows work permits for spouses who otherwise could not be employed while H-1B visa holders seek permanent resident status—a process that can take a decade or longer.
Indian-Americans were a major beneficiary of this provision. More than 100,000 H-4 visa holders have been beneficiary of this rule.
More than 104,000 spouses have been granted work authorisation since the H-4 visa rule was enacted, according to DHS’s Citizenship and Immigration Services.
