Trump might just throw spouses of H1-B visa holders out of work in US

The H1-B visa issue might see another twist. The Donald Trump Administration has sought 60 days to respond to a court case that challenges the decision of the previous Obama Administration to authorise spouses of H-1B holders to work in the US, according to a Times of India report.

H-1B visa holders can bring immediate family members (spouse and children under 21) to the US under the H-4 visa category as dependents.

These dependents can remain in the US as long as the H-1B visa holder retains legal status. They are allowed to attend school, apply for a driver's license, and open a bank account in the United States.

Several American groups challenged this decision in a federal court in Washington DC. The H1-B holders include mostly Indians.

An appeal was filed with the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by Department of Justice, entitled "Consent motion to hold proceedings in abeyance for 60 days".

We need to end the H1-B visa program by 9:01 am tomorrow morning.

 

Immigration shouldn't have so many loopholes. I wonder if a small percentage are here illegally just due to confusion.

Still, at this point...illegal is illegal.
