US work permits to H4 visa holders, including Indians, may be revoked in 3 months

The Trump administration Saturday told a federal court that its decision to revoke work permits to H-4 visas holders, who are primarily spouses ofH-1B foreign guest workers, is expected within the next three months. 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in its latest court filing Saturday told the US District Court in District of Columbia that it was “making a solid and swift progress in proposing to remove from its regulations certain H-4 spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants as a class of aliens eligible for employment authorisation”.

The DHS said the new rule would be submitted to the Office of Management of Budget (OMB), White House, within three months.
