    All we hear from these people is complains, they are taking Americans jobs, selling themselves low, just thinking about themselves, without any consideration of American’s or America. They came into this country as they are not capable of securing jobs in their home countries. Now they slowly started demanding ... give everything to my kid, give job to my wife, I should have all the rights. They are suckers, don’t give anything in return. Amazing, they will complain, we are taxpayers. You make money , you pay taxes, simple what special about it. You are sending your kids to school, which is run on Citizens taxpayers money. Property taxes are shooting up, as more and more of these kids are coming, and we have to pay for their schooling. Businesses lobbied the administration to have in-flux of these cheap labors. There are hardly 5-6% highly skilled, rest all are who are not capable of finding jobs in their native countries. Stop this whole B...S.... of highly skilled and skill shortage. No one is separating the families, they all knew when they came here. Stay with your kids, no one is asking you to stay here. They are suckers, doesn’t show any sign of highly skilled. They are highly skilled in playing these cards “female spouses, barred in jails”, “families are separated save H4”, “ slavery for H1”. Highly skilled visa criterion should be simple, take kids graduating from top schools and Ivy. God bless America. Abolish the root cause of this problem H1/L visa.

    I support this petition and request to allow EAD for dependent children on H4 visa. My child is turning 21 and I'm so worried about her future. I appeal to the government to consider this request to freeze the date for children to get GC under parents application and relieve them from these uncertainities

    These H4 dependent children are here in USA legally and have not done any wrong in any form or fashion. These kids have actually excelled in education, graduated on TOP of their high school graduating class, participated in competitions and made every one including their parents & teachers very proud. They deserve to be able to work and earn money just like their peer and live respectfully.I fully support this petition and hope things work out soon.

    We are legal immigrants to the US on H1 and we have been here for more than 10 years. My son was 3 when we moved here and he is 13 now. He is a bright student with straight A's and a 3.8 GPA so far. As of now we will be getting our GC in an other 12 years by when my son will be 24 and he will be in the aged out category. He will not be getting any benefits when he enters college as he will be considered as an international student even though he has been studying here in the States from kindergarten. Please help H4 aging out kids to pursue their American dream.

    I'm living here in US for close to 10 years now and my daughter started studying here since her 2nd grade now she is senior in High school. It is very discouraging for her to know that she dont have same opportunities that other kids with USC or Green Card holder have and she would be considered as International Student. Please help H4 students from backloged countries to continue dream for their future studies here in US.

    My son is in his senior year now. He has been studying in the US since 1st grade. We both parents are Engineering graduates and are working in the US for close to 12 years now. We already had 10 years of work experience before coming to the US. As we have not got our GC yet, our son will be unable to get the internship benefits when he enters college next year. Our son studies well ; helps fellow students and is an all-round kid. We feel bad when explain to him that he will be considered an International student in college and will not be getting benefits that GC and USC students will be getting such as internship option, admission to integrated majors and financial aid. We both parents are educated, experienced and have been paying taxes for 12 years and contributing to the US economy but unable to give our only child the opportunity and benefits he very much deserves.

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/392 H.R.392 - Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2017 .................................. STOP FAKE COMPLAINS .............. Don't blame our country for laws and rights. We follow all the laws and have all the rights. We have no issues with our laws. If you are genuine, there is no nepotism, favoritism or corruption in this country.................................................. Get this straight in your heads. Now lets see who is not following the laws. Here are list of few fraud cases can't list all, as this is endless list. When we created these rules, we didn't consider how people will use the loopholes and take advantage of our system. America is a LAND of LAWS.................................................... http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/07/20/san-jose-businesswoman-pleads-guilty-to-h1-b-visa-fraud/.... http://indianexpress.com/article/india/indian-origin-woman-pleads-guilty-in-h1b-visa-fraud-scheme/.... https://www.americanbazaaronline.com/2017/08/10/indian-american-entrepreneur-rohit-saksena-sentenced-h-1b-visa-fraud/.... https://www.numbersusa.com/news/two-h-1b-fraud-cases-prosecuted.............................................. Now lets talk about why American's are losing their jobs and rights of immigrants............................... 1. Indian managers are inefficient, they don't know how to negotiate, have no management skills, have no knowledge of processes or project management, don't know how to deliver the projects within the budget (i.e. 35-40 work hour week). The only way they can manage the projects is ask the people to work till midnight, work over the weekends, ask them to work like slaves. American's knows "they have only one life", they know what they want in life, they refuse to work on these terms, so they are let go, as these Indian managers know there is pool of cheap indentured H1B immigrants available in the market. So they replace Americans with these cleap indentured workers. SLAVERY OF INDIANS BY INDIANS. Get the correct knowledge and courage to keep your rights before complaining about Americans. ............................................................... Now the question is......... Why do you accept slavery. Why don't you refuse to work more than 40 hours, this is labor law. Follow the laws, there are no issues. Are you afraid to loose your jobs, American's are losing their jobs too, but they don't accept slavery. Why don't you create a petition to all the H1B immigrants to send a letter to your employer No working more than 40 hours. Ask for overtime pay. Ask for salary you deserve. Laws and rights are there you have to know how to respect yourself. If you don't respect yourself, why anyone else will respect you. Employers are taking care of their benefits you take care of your rights. Don't be beggars, if you think you have the skills be the leaders. Only one life, living a life of respect is much better than living a life of uncertainty and slavery .................... ............................................................ 2. Another issue with working cheap and as slaves. Companies budget their spending on money, not on number of headcounts. If they can afford 4-5 Americans on $1M budget. They can afford 15-20 H1bs on same budget. They are ready to work overtime and over the weekends. So company gets more work hours within the same budget. This is causing 4-5 times more number of visas. Which is your problem. Take care of your problems, all the laws and rules are there. This is not an immigrant visa, this is work visa. Even if you get immigration, your work problems will still remain with you. American's don't hire based on skin color, but you do. You surround yourself with people from your country, hometowns or who speak your language. There are no problems in our System, the problem is within you, probably the way you are raised. No one is taking advantage of you, you are asking employers to take advantage of you. Respect yourself, only then others will respect you.

    My son studied in the US for past 11 years and is into his 12th year now. We are struck in this eb2 backlog and haven't got GC yet. My son is top 10 performer at his school and has dreams of becoming a physician. Please provide relief to the H4 kids and their parents by allowing EAD option and having them continue on h4 visa until parents get GC. Please don't push them to F1 / H1b and make their lives/career repeat the long wait and uncertainity (all over again) that their parents are going through.

    I'm going through with this hurdle and I strongly agree on having EAD for H4 dependent student. My daughter who started studying since her 2nd grade and she is now Senior in high school. Its unfortunate that she would still be considered as "Foreign student" . I have stayed in NJ state for about 10 years now and have paid Federal and State taxes for all those years. Please consider students completed their high school here in US to have the EAD

    I strongly support this petition for granting H4 EAD to Kids and preserving their status after age 21 to get the GC, which parents had been in line for ages. There is a large parity when compared to H4 Kids with other categories (DACA, L2 Kids). There needs a fair law for every Kid without politicizing or demoralizing the situation around categories. H4 EAD for Kids will help them earn and contribute towards their college education and become better individuals. They are the future of The United States in no less than the other Kids in the country. One Fact: They are LEGAL here and they are KIDS. They should be given provisions to shape their life. System should not become a bottleneck for it.
