H4 Visa

The spouses of H-1B visa holders are issued the H4 visa, which does not allow the spouses to work. 

But from 26 May 2015, there was a provision that was added - H4 visa EAD - which would let dependent spouses of H-1B visa holders work in the US provided the H-1B spouse:

·         Have an approved I-140, which is the immigration petition for foreign citizens to get Green Card or Permanent Residency in USA.

·         Have H1B visa status extended beyond 6 years under AC21 Act, which allows H1B holders seeking Green Card to work and stay in USA beyond 6 years, if their Green Card or Permanent Residency Application is Pending.

Since President Trump’s administration took office, there has been lot of speculation and rumors about what will happen to H-4 visa EAD rule.

The current motion filed by Government for 180 days time does NOT impact the current rule in any ways, until any judgment is given by Court.
