Solution to H4 EAD and spouse related VISA

Apr 26, 2018 28 Comments

There are debates about this. I think I have a middle way. FYI I already have a green card so my intentions are pure. Best strategy is if your spouse has H1B visa then Employer can file H1B visa for you (h4) with cap exempt. This would allow spouses to only take jobs that would require H1-B but without the hassle of lottery and also protect lot of American jobs since I see H4-EAD folks working in Macy’s/Bank etc which is clearly meant for Americans only. What do you guys think of this ? I am planning to meeting congressmen for this just as my suggestion. But your input can help.

      This is the long term solution. But even if they change this today lot of Indians would have to wait a good 5-10 years at least to get GC

    Just give the Green Cards to the 500k or so people who want it and let them assimilate. Those people will be in the country anyway. Does the country really benefit by squeezing them to the bone and making their lives extra stressful and miserable vs just absorbing them and have them contribute their human capital fully?

      For every acquisition they are fighting to kill 10 competitors. So leaving brilliant engineers off the hook will eventually come to bite them back. H1B and GC backlog is the leash.

      Who is there to compete? They do hundreds of silent acquisitions every year. It’s great way to acquire valuable tech which cannot be possible to build internally. You just sound like you want to find a reason to blame tech companies instead of the govt policies

    Won't work, companies don't file for h1b that easily however they do hire h4 ead much more easily.

    H1B without lottery for spouses of h1b who has I140? I like it. This way people only get jobs that match their skills and not do anything and everything. Case closed

    • Good point but I wasn’t sure to put approved I140 as requirement but I think that’s for current H4 eligibility requirement so that should work. Thanks for catching the details
