More than 70,000 H-4 visas holder spouses of *H-1B visa holders, a significantly large number of whom are high-skilled professionals from India,who have work permits from Obama period, may be badly impacted as per opinion of Donald Trump, as his*** administration is planning to end allowing spouses of H1-B visa holders to work legally in the US. H-4 is issued to the spouse of H-1B visa holders, had obtained work permits under a special order issued by the previous Obama administration, many of them are high-skilled professionals from India.

About 100,000 H-4 visa holders, Indian-Americans were a major beneficiary of this provision.

Obama administration allowed work permits, in 2015, for spouses who otherwise could not be employed while H-1B visa holders seek permanent resident status -- a process that can take a decade.

Trump's administration plans to terminate this provision. In a letter to Senator Chuck Grassley, formal communication is expected to be made later this summer, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Francis Cissna said. “Our plans include proposing regulatory changes to remove H-4 dependent spouses from the class of aliens eligible for employment authorisation, thereby reversing the 2015 final rule that granted such eligibility,” Cissna said.

Such action would comport with the executive order requirement to “propose new rules and issue new guidance, to supersede or revise previous rules and guidance if appropriate, to protect the interests of United States workers in the administration of our immigration system" As with other revisions to regulations, the public will have an opportunity to provide feedback during a notice and comment period, Cissna said.

Migration Policy Institute,made a study, the US has issued employment authorisation documents to more than 71,000 spouses of H-1B visa holders (about 90 per cent Indians).

USCIS had granted 71,287 initial (versus renewal) employment authorisation documents to H-4 spouses, as of June 2017.

H-4 spouses having work authorisation as on 2017, a total of 94 per cent were women, and most of them (93 per cent were Indian), and only 4 per cent were from China.
