US plans to end work permits for H-1B visa holders' spouses
The US is planning to revoke work permits for spouses of H-1B visa holders waiting for green cards. The move to end the 2015 rule could have an effect on over 70,000 H-4 visa holders, who have work permits. H-4 is issued to the spouse of H-1B holders, a large number of whom are high-skilled professionals from India.
