This is what they had on uscis website before it was down DHS Extends Eligibility for Employment Authorization to Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses of H-1B Nonimmigrants Seeking Employment-Based Lawful Permanent Residence Release Date: February 24, 2015 WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director León RodrÃguez announced today that, effective May 26, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending eligibility for employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants who are seeking employment-based lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. DHS amended the regulations to allow these H-4 dependent spouses to accept employment in the United States. Finalizing the H-4 employment eligibility was an important element of the immigration executive actions President Obama announced in November 2014. Extending eligibility for employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants is one of several initiatives underway to modernize, improve and clarify visa programs to grow the U.S. economy and create jobs. “Allowing the spouses of these visa holders to legally work in the United States makes perfect sense,” RodrÃguez said. “It helps U.S. businesses keep their highly skilled workers by increasing the chances these workers will choose to stay in this country during the transition from temporary workers to permanent residents. It also provides more economic stability and better quality of life for the affected families.” Eligible individuals include certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants who: Are the principal beneficiaries of an approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker; or Have been granted H-1B status under sections 106(a) and (b) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000 as amended by the 21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act. The Act permits H-1B nonimmigrants seeking lawful permanent residence to work and remain in the United States beyond the six-year limit on their H-1B status. DHS expects this change will reduce the economic burdens and personal stresses H-1B nonimmigrants and their families may experience during the transition from nonimmigrant to lawful permanent resident status, and facilitate their integration into American society. As such, the change should reduce certain disincentives that currently lead H-1B nonimmigrants to abandon efforts to remain in the United States while seeking lawful permanent residence, which will minimize disruptions to U.S. businesses employing them. The change should also support the U.S. economy because the contributions H-1B nonimmigrants make to entrepreneurship and science help promote economic growth and job creation. The rule also will bring U.S. immigration policies more in line with those laws of other countries that compete to attract similar highly skilled workers. Under the rule, eligible H-4 dependent spouses must file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with supporting evidence and the required $380 fee in order to obtain employment authorization and receive a Form I-766, Employment Authorization Document (EAD). USCIS will begin accepting applications on May 26, 2015. Once USCIS approves the Form I-765 and the H-4 dependent spouse receives an EAD, he or she may begin working in the United States. USCIS estimates the number of individuals eligible to apply for employment authorization under this rule could be as high as 179,600 in the first year and 55,000 annually in subsequent years. USCIS reminds those potentially eligible that this rule is not considered effective until May 26, 2015. Individuals should not submit an application to USCIS before the effective date, and should avoid anyone who offers to assist in submitting an application to USCIS before the effective date.

Immigration Voice Newsletter: 02/24/2015 (EAD for H4 Rule) Dear Friends, Immigration Voice is delighted with the DHS announcement of the final rule allowing spouses of certain H1-B visa holders to obtain work authorization. According to the regulatory change announced today, the spouses of skilled immigrants with approved immigrant petition, or, H-4 visa holder spouses of workers on H-1B visa for over 6 years in the U.S., will be eligible to apply for work authorization. This rule is expected to go into effect in 90 days. We applaud President Obama for making this regulatory change and we very much hope that this fix is the first in the series of more regulatory changes that will be implemented soon. Immigration Voice is grateful to President Obama and his administration for Executive Action on Immigration to address the severe quality of life issues faced by hundreds and thousands of families, including this fix to allow spousal work authorization for certain H-1B visa holders. As a lot of IV members know first-hand, this fix will alleviate severe quality of life issues faced by the spouses and their families. This simple technical fix is expected to provide relief to more than 180,000 families in the first year of its implementation. As we celebrate this regulatory change, we continue to implore Congress to live up to its promise to address our nation's priority issues, and fix the broken immigration system because only Congress can pass the immigration reforms. At this happy moment, our hope is that for folks sitting on the sidelines, you will see this as one more example of the strength of people's voice. That in a democratic system, the only way for people to seek larger goals is by enduring the process, cohere and stick together in the face of difficulties. We hope that this regulatory change will encourage you to get more actively involved, to speak-up and to lend your stories for highlighting the broken immigration system, so we can all do our share in seeking permanent fixes to these long standing problems. Because, you do not find what you do not seek. So join us in finding permanent solutions. | ||
