Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses has been a topic of discussion at the Senate for years. The Federal Rule Making Agenda mentions the proposed rule for H-4 EAD would complete by January 2014. This would allow many spouses living in the united states to start working and have their dreams fulfilled.
H-4 EAD Abstract:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations by extending the availability of employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of principal H-1B nonimmigrants who have begun the process of seeking lawful permanent resident status through employment. Allowing the eligible class of H-4 dependent spouses to work encourages professionals with high demand skills to remain in the country and help spur the innovation and growth of U.S. companies
Further Steps
- Completion of Proposed Rule
- Initiation, approval, completion of Interim Finale Rule.
It looks like we are close to finishing the first step by the end of January 2014.
