Allow H4 Visa Holders (Dependents of H1-B Visa Holders) to work while accompanying their spouses.
for foreign workers on H1-B with an equally qualified spouse on H4 visa should be allowed to work
Many highly educated foreign workers do not find USA as a lucrative destination as while they work, their equally qualified spouse is not allowed by the rule to work under H4 status. This overall discourages the collective will of a family to live in the United States. The situation become worst when the working spouse is pursuing a research project at a university and has a family to manage in whatever meager stipend he/she gets. In this case the spouse, who for most of these cases is equally well-qualified, should be allowed to work for the period of time for which the H1-B visa is valid. This will ensure that current H1-B workers have 'some standard' of life than being 'below poverty' line of America. Thank you and Sincerely.
