    It has to go. You can't really leech on to the new grad jobs. They struggle in general to find jobs, huge student loans on their back and struggle even more for h1b visas and sponsorship. And all you care is about your second income ??? ๐Ÿ˜’

      Just like you are leeching on Americans jobs? Grow up kiddo.. the world doesnโ€™t work like that. Just fyi these H4s are GC in waiting and victims of backlog issue.. people conveniently forget that. Also โ€˜new gradsโ€™ job pie? Sorry but there is no such pie!

      Again - the world is not a tech bubble, so come out of it. In many cases the spouses are in completely unrelated professions

    shout to republican congressman and have some good arguments ready why this H4 visa makes sense when most countries donโ€™t allow this in their countries

      You mean the same countries that would have them naturalized within 5 years and thus not need this stupid patchwork Visa in the first place?

    This EAD shit is - when the shitter goes shitting, hope it goes away soon! No offense or take offense whatever - but this EAD is a mammoth size abuse of US jobs by sub par techies and 99% of them from India and China. Cant even speak the language forget abt skill at work! Taking away $$$ off the pocket of a qualified person is an ABSUE! Shame!

      "Mammoth size abuse" -> like what 30-40k a year and a million are let into the country without any skills check in family immigration. Granted there is a country quota there, but unless you have racial preference to justify your argument, those million who are joining this country will take away jobs, by your own assessment of 'immigrants taking away jobs'. You can't see the robbery happening in front of you and you are worried about the paper clips that were stolen.

      Glad you can't see the bigger picture. If you did, family Immigration would have already been flushed down the toilet long time back.

      @woqO06 Dude.. Don't assume that everyone fits the same profile you made up in your mind. It is not just used by techies.

      My wife works on H4-EAD. She is a physician who makes 330k in Wisconsin. Her income is not high because of the cost of living. The cost of living is so low for us that a 2 bedroom apartment rents for 650 bucks. She gets paid so much because she is qualified.

      I am just forced to use the H4-EAD option for her because most of the hospitals nearby don't sponsor H1B, and we like the city where we've lived for 10 years, and don't want to move.
