Its a big relief for many Indian families. It will impact more than one hundred thousands of Indian spouses. Many of Indian young professional women could not work because of this visa issue.

If an I-140 Petition has been approved for the H-1B spouse or have a pending perm for more than 365 days, H4 spouse is now eligible for the work authorization. Previously they had to wait for the priority date to be current and then only I-485 could be filed which allowed EAD. Because of the long wait for EB2 and EB3 categories for India, this change has been done. We at Law Offices of Sunita Kapoor, PC applaud Obama Administration for this positive change. Have question?
