    NO ONE STEAL ANYONE JOB. People who dont have skills or lazy people think like " H1B people steals their money or jobs". If I get GC or Citizenship I will buy house here or else I will invest my money in back to my home country. Who cares.

    Do not issue any GC or EAD. Send back them to home country. If immigration department do this-- think who will work for Oracle, Amazon , many big corporate also government body agencies. I aware a single H1B guy earning atleast 80k to 100k Easily per year. They all savings a lot better than American citizens. I am an Indian but now USA citizen and I save a lot. Guy working with me earning 120k per month for development and I am earning 90k. so, if that guy who earning 120k send him back to India means all savings will go to his hometown banks. he can easily put in fixed deposit those money and life like heaven for him. If that guy got GC and working here. he will sure buy home half million dollar and his saving entire savings will be going to make a down payment for that home. he also will buy maybe businesses or invest somewhere in future what I am doing now. so tax money plus investment will be only in USA for me now. hardly I can send money $500 to $1000 for my family after each 2months that's nothing. when I don't have GC I was on H1 , I sent most of my money to India because want to save for my future. now I am citizen my all money only in USA. so, think.. this could be good for USA economy or not. no one steal anyone jobs, I seen many nuts and some people who don't deserve job those are Americans any race but earning money serving nothing.

    Please be be courteous and it absolutely makes sense to provide EAD to all MS degree from US and working on H1for atleast 3 years and approved I140 or working on H1 for 6 years with I140 as it would give some stability in career to accomplish long term dreams in a land of opportunities.

    Why you spoiling the country and the culture by such a law this shows you are not loyal to the country. If govt gives EAD to all I 140 approved US economy, real estate in over night. Country will become real super power as this tech force will be perm resident here not only that 50% of people wants to open the business here which will give jobs to at least 2 citizens and all income they will keep here because now there is no reason to send money to other country. basically you will see dollars in the market. What the hell this rule will make a difference in country ? if it is not stop talking such a crap. GOD BLESS AMERICA

    EAD should be given to those with Approved I140. It is really painful to stick to an employer if the only reason to stay is I140. Even an employer knows that an employee with approved I140 can not argue for many things because the actual key is in their hand. This is really ruining the culture here. A lot citizens are hating the jobs because those who are on I140 are struggling at the jobs to maintain their status and they(citizens) need to match their work or loose the job. All that we demand here is equal opportunity those who deserve. May not be all I140 but atleast who are here for considerable amount of time.

    This reason to not give EAD is foolish. Are American corporates so fool that they can recruit bunch of fake folks? or is it just that americans want to avoid competition with EAD holders? I know thousands of Indians are ready to invest around $250K each just for their home if they get EAD. This itself will create lot of jobs here. Else they are sending all this spare money to India due to higher interest rates.

    Please APPROVE EAD for ALL H1b holders with I-140 approved, and completed 6 yrs in USA. This will surely improve the economy in USA as these people will start investing in US - as they have some stability in their career. This will also help these highly skilled techies to work freely in any organization to provide their services and thus getting more profits to the Organization.

    Who create Fake resume those are no longer working in USA I bet you. I am here and maintaining my H1 since last 9years+, working with State government projects DOR here in Boston Data-center. I am EB-3 category and DOR want's to hire us but they can't due to we are not Green Card holders. so, issue us EAD + Green Card on timely manner. Indians are good educated and better hard workers than other like Mexican's etc, why issue them current bases and no more backlog for them. even those are illegal immigrants too. we want justice , this is unfair rules only against Indians.

    I have 8+ years working experience (as Software Developer) in US alone. I am working in US since 2007 (I-140 Approved in 2012 under Eb3 category). Due to backlog for India, I could not file adjustment of status (I-485). How can someone say EAD is misused to create fake resumes with 8 to 10 years experience? Check with Social Security Administration/IRS to verify whether the candidates is genuine or not? Social Security Administration maintains yearly earning records. I don't simply need EAD itself. I need my Green Card and please send it to my home country if I am not in US (Maintaining H1B status for 10 to 15 years is not a joke!)

    Start the point system: Work experience in US = 2*(Number of Years) [Max 12 points] Bachelors in US = 3 Masters in US = 5 PH.D. In US = 8 Time since I-140 approved = 1*(Number of Years) [Max 6 points] This will at least clear off the pending backlogs for those who have higher education and years of experience in US. As the above backlog will clear, remaking folks will keep adding points via their work experience or I-140 clearance. At some stage, things will streamline enough to get EAD for all I-140 approved.

    Please grant EAD to all approved I-140 holders. Why should USCIS put so many restrictions for high skilled foreign nationals who are working hard for US companies and helping US advance technologically? Why companies say Equal employment opportunities and also say NO SPONSORSHIP available? Why such a high skilled worker has to work most of the time in contract and unstable jobs? Cant even buy a home due to uncertainity of visas. EAD will give them flexibilitity to progress in their careers and stability. Please grant EADs for all I-140 holders.

    This is stupid thinking that don't give EAD just because of fake resume. It tells your inability not to screen right person. Anyone including Citizen can make fake resume. Think right, people with I140 have all rights to receive EAD soon. Delay just tells that USCIS is not able to clear the backlogs, anyway they will receive EAD later. You have to understand these people suffer a lot from their employer and this kind of manipulation from employer is actually kind of soft poison on humanity. All deserve to get opportunity and benefits if they have skills. Believe me correcting the immigration law will eventually help USA to generate more jobs, more stability and strength in economy. PLEASE PASS THIS RULE IMMEDIATLY and them get on time what they deserve.

    Please provide I140 approved people the EAD. This will be helpful for their families here and families back in India. Also its good for the US economy if you see overall pic. More investment in US will come out of this than the current situation. Current situation is just kind of exploitation of the H1 B visas and chewing someones precious years hanging in a status which they don't know if will get approve and when. Nothing can really be planned for those 10 Plus years. Please do serious survey and you will get to know the pic that how important is to give EAD/AP to people who are working hard with Approved I-140. Thank you all. Appreciate you reading my comments God Bless you.

    I think it's a great idea to give EAD for I-140 approved pettions with criteria 6 years on H1-B + higher education in USA (as they spend around 30000 for education, it's good being for them to be considered). Looks like the petition they are referring is about H4-EAD, agrees that is crape. If goverment concentrates seriously, getting rid of Fake resume is not a big deal..Good Luck to evey one, hope govt will issue EADs to approved I-140 petitions with some criteria..

America is getting screwed Up, It's time for AMERICA to OPEN the KEYS and Tight the immigration System and do JUSTICE to CLEAN and GENUINE candiates & take necessary actions on PEOPLE with FAKE Career... If they do that lot of ineligible people will be discarded results to have only true people, deserving people, worthy people who can get EADs with out this rule as the number of applicants will be reduces by eliminating FAKE people....

    US is a land of immigrants. It has always been like that and we need this to improve the competitiveness and bring more innovative ideas that are needed in the future. While having said that, H1B brings highly skilled immigrants from all over the world who work on the creative ideas that build the America in the 21st century. Many families are affected by the currently portability issues with H1B even with an approved H1B. The abuse happens only to the H1B employee who is taken advantage of by People who misuse the H1B receipients inability to transfer to another company or work independantly. Also H1B abuse mostly happens with the Huge outsourcing corporations like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL , Accenture, which misuse the provisions in the H1B to take advantage of the recepients. Please give more priority to Employees who did there Higher studies here in the US and regulate the big outsourcing companies who deplete the local jobs. Those who have been long enough to get their I140 approved should be able to get the EAD. Stop illegal immigration and support Legal immigration. Set up example by helping reduce the huge wait for legal immigration. Supporting illegal immigration by giving amnesty to the illegals and enabling them to skip the line before the hardworking legal immigrants sets a bad precedence in a country like America. Let us be the role model to the world as we have always been. Lets make Legal immigration less harder for the hard working families from different countries who call the US as home.

    EAD for I140 is very important as ROW country folks get their GCs in few months while people from few countries have to wait for 20/30 years to get an EAD , which unfair. And mind you, these I140 holders are already employed in USA for long time so the EADs will give some liberty to these people in terms of switching jobs and buying houses.

    I believe issuing EAD for people with approved I-140 is equally pressing need as issuing EAD for H4 . What I want you to consider - why handful of countries are deprived so badly when rest of the world is enjoying the benefit of US immigration process? Without an EAD, a large population of dissatisfied work force (mostly being ill treated at the work place) is created as they are forced to stick to their current job for very long period due to the lack of I-140 portability. As a result some young bright ones are leaving this country. All of These in turn affects US economy and growth. Please bring back the policy from the past to issue EAD along with approved I-140 for countries with a long wait for I-485 application.

    I think EAD for I140 will help both beneficiaries as well as economy.these people are already here for many years but they are not free to progress and participate in American economy. With EAD they can open a business and generate employment. By focusing on immigrating skilled workers Canadian economy has progressed significantly.
