Work permission for H4 visa holders

In the early hours of May 6, 2014, the Department of Homeland Security issued a press release proposing new regulations. Here is a summary:

1. H4 visa holders WILL get work authorization. The conditions will be that their H1b spouses have I-140 approvals and are in the 7th year (and beyond) extension period.

2. E3, H1b1 and CW1 visa holders normally need an approved application before they can take on new employment. The proposed rule will allow them to work during the time the application is pending and will have 240 days of work permission (similar to certain other employment-based visa applications)

3. The rules will streamline evidentiary issues for EB1 Extraordinary Ability and Outstanding Researcher categories by allowing comparable evidence.

The rules will be published in the Federal Register in the next 2-3 days Thereafter, there will be a public comment period, likely 60 days. We will likely be able to make applications soon thereafter.

While this is not a blanket work permission for all H4 visa holders, it certainly will help thousands of people waiting in the visa backlog to get a green card some day.
