The trump administration has declared its intention to cancel H4 visa holders' work licenses. A 2015 rule put in place during the obama administration that allowed some H4 holders to work while they awaited green cards would be repealed by this ruling.
 
More than 100,000 people, mostly indian women, may be impacted by the shift. This action undercuts the fundamental principles of inclusivity and opportunity that America promotes for innumerable families. These wives are valuable professionals who contribute significantly to the American economy; they are not just dependents. Removing their employment rights is unfair and unwise.


Families in the US typically find that having two salaries helps them pay for the high cost of living. H4 holders, who are primarily women, may suffer emotionally and financially by losing their feeling of purpose and financial independence, which would appear to be a gender inequality. With these new regulations, once-attainable dreams seem far away. However, these kinds of regulatory adjustments don't happen right now. Before anything is verified, reviews, public comments, and potential legal issues might take months or even years. The future is unclear, but there is still time for advocacy and action.
