In the midst of the debate around DACA, there's another group of foreigners facing an uncertain future that are often overlooked: Kids of H-1B holders.
Here's a story I wrote back in October on this issue: sfchronicle.com/business/art…

DOJ defending the 3 year OPT program is not enough. Indian students coming to study and then work in the US have NO PATHWAY TO A GREEN CARD right now if they apply in EB2 or EB3 category. Students are becoming more aware of US' archair #immigration rules. wsj.com/amp/articles/visas-i…

Eventually it's all about 💰. They know this will hurt international student enrollment, so who will pay the hefty international student fees? But take away EADs from the spouses waiting for Green Cards!

The Trump administration’s plan to scrap H-4 visas is based on anti-immigrant sentiment. Period. Preventing spouses of H-1B visa holders from working will do nothing for wages or American workers.

That is because US has a country of birth quota for high skilled Green Card category, affecting Indians and Chinese primarily as most high skilled arrive from these 2 countries. Many have Masters and PhD from US universities but stuck in decades long GC backlog. Support S2344.

Met w/ group of highly skilled immigrant workers today, many holding advanced STEM field degrees from US schools & have lived in the US for many years, but may be facing a 70 year wait for their green cards.

With work permits in limbo, spouses of H-1B visa holders worry they’ll lose jobs.
The Trump administration indicated it plans to end a work-authorization program tied to H-4 visas this year. st.news/2Fc3LfQ

Grateful to see @seattletimes spotlight the importance of the #H4EAD and why it is under threat. @rachelerman did a great job conveying the perspectives of spouses who are contributing to our economy. We strongly support maintaining this program. seattletimes.com/business/te…

The Fairness for Highly-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2017 ends absurd per-country cap on green cards & cut the enormous backlog for H-1B visa holders. A bipartisan bill; supported by more than 300 members of the House — a majority of Republicans & Democrats. sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…
