Making a criteria for H4 EAD like MS and PhD only would clear the air with respect to taking average job of an American. Problem today is that there is no criteria for H4 EAD. They could drive Uber, start a home based day care by bringing in laws or people on tourist visa and make them work for 6 months or even work at target or Walmart which competes with average American and that is the key talking point by people against this rule. Don’t make it all and sundry and opposition will die down. On the other hand, immigration is a privilege and not a right.
Alternate idea would be for H4 to wait at their home country for 3 to 4 yrs and then come with an EAD to the US (similar to what happens in F2A today) and rejoin with their spouse. This will drastically reduce the applications and also give them the ability to work when they come. Put numerical limitations per year like F2A.
Shut up man, just cancel it or have it available.. people are not going to hold on fkng ead and not be with their spouse’s.. who will wait for 3-4 years in home country for EAD? Are you mad or unmarried?
Exactly my point. This is what F2A goes through right now where they cannot even bring their spouse in a tourist visa for 3 to 4 yrs. Imagine if something like that is done by USCIS. All this h4 fad will go away. People should be happy that atleast they can come immediately to the US on a non immigrant visa.
This is 😝 crazy. I hope it doesn’t get passed in Congress
I am from India so am well versed with H4 EAD stuff. From what I have seen most people who work on H4 EAD do low end jobs for which there is no shortage of workers. No offense to people on H4 EAD. There are always exceptions and some of them might be doing highly skilled work, but that is not the norm. Getting rid of H4 EAD means families within dual income would get hit since they would now need to adjust to lower income. However, since there is no shortage of workers who can do such jobs, those jobs would be taken over by citizens or GC holders. I do not see how it would affect US economy.
Because if there's no h4 ead, h1b candidates will go to Canada instead. The good thing is that most tech people are forever alone virgins, so this would only affect the small section that actually managed to find a gf
Agree but if a person with ead is finding the job, how come a citizen is not able to?
I think h4 ead work authorization was poorly done. They could have made it similar to h1b in restrictions but without the lottery part. Right now, I agree with the lawsuit that it's taking away possibly low income jobs.
That’s the thing. H1 is employer based. Can you drove Uber legally on H1? No. Can you drive Uber legally on H4 EAD? Yes! Because it’s not employer based and there is no criteria.
The US has a shortage of people to do low skilled work. That's the irony.
Like nanny. H4 wives want to be one?
It's amazing how people not affected by proposed removal of H4 EAD are only people with GC or citizen or single H-1b. You people won't understand until you go through it.
You don’t understand that you built your life and hopes on an executive overreach that can just as easily be undone. It’s like the bank made an error in your favor and now you’re crying about the fact that they are about to correct the error. Just enjoy it while it lasts..
As I said if you are not affected shut your mouth and keep your knowledge with you.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
“The survey data demonstrates that H-4 workers are highly skilled, highly educated, and tend to pursue employment in fields with extremely low unemployment rates.” Then get an H1B, no need for H4
Lol why would someone put their career in a lottery box 😆
Because once H4 is gone for good, people will have to play by the rule. It is highly skilled immigration US wants, not indiscriminate immigration. One of the only few good things Trump is doing is fixings (or at least trying to) the exploitation of H1B and related visas. I am all for it, even as H1B myself. If the system is cleared out it gets better for everyone instead of only for those who can exploit it
