It is Mafia! Want it or not we have a deal with Cartel inside of US in IT industry. Example. I was scheduled for a phone interview with I was said Hiring Manager of big financial company. Interview vent very good. After that I was called by the same requiter and she said - "unfortunately this guy is no longer in this firm so you will be interviewed with the other one". It happens all the time. I stop talking to those guys from India -

The thing that most of prof locals can substitute 3-5 h1b or h4 is fact. But I want to talk about the way they abuse this privilege. I still wonder why in a business or even government environment it is allowed to create tribal ethnic teams. It is allowed to create big vertical ethnic chain of management. Are we blind. Don't we see this groups and teams are untouchable and noncompetitive because are fraught with discrimination if going not furtherREPORT COMMENTS

H4 EAD is abusing the IT system, lot of consulting companies(WITCH) are hiring H4 EAD as contractors (which means no interviews required by clients) on lower billing rates, faking resumes for getting the jobs which could have easily done by US freshers who graduated paying a lot of money on their education and are deprived of all these opportunities. H4 EAD also open doors to fraud. Any H1-B with a approved i-140 can apply for H4 EAD. This means any H1-B holder who landed in US for the first time cna file a fake GC case, get his I1-140 approved in 6-7 months and his or her spouse can start working. H4 EAD should only be given to H1-B visa holders who have spent atleast 10 years in US. This will atleast reduce H1-B frauds and H4 EAD frauds.REPORT COMMENTS

Dear CA, Unfortunately I agree with the person below. There should be qualification rule similar to H1 visa in place. As in case of your wife, she would be been Okay even with h4 EAD qualification rules. This rules with would not affect honest people. However it would keep scammers out.REPORT COMMENTS

My wife has Bachelor Of engineering degree, she has 7 years of prior IT Experience, when she was hired she went through 5 technical rounds of interview, 1 Manager round and 1 Hr in person interview. They sent her experience letters and degree certificate to external agency for background verification. My point ithere may be some cases of fake experience but not many for sure. I am in this industry for 12 years, every company has well established recruitment cycle and background verification processes in place. It is not easy to enter with fake experience and moreover even if you are entered you will be kicked out in few weeks.REPORT COMMENTS

I know someone who got contact job on H4 EAD visa, and that person have shown fake experience in resume , worked less 1 than year, but shown 8 years of experience. Moreover this person claims on resume that it has bachelors from reputable a US college, however in real that person has only has high school diploma. The greedy IT vendor (consulting company) didn’t bother to verify the qualifications & experience and hired on contract to work for a Fortune 500 client. Unfortunately, because H4ead employment verification process is not same as H1, this person was able to scam the system. I personally know many hard working folks on H1 and like to welcome them with open arms. I also understand the people on H4 should be given opportunity to work, however I strongly believe same rules like H1 verification should be in place for H4 EAD hires. Current rules have lots of loopholes.REPORT COMMENTS

H4 EADS are abusing our system. They are doing day job also and they have opened 2-3 businesses. Providing products/services for nominal amount than what normal American would charge. This should be stopped right away. They are acting like citizens of America. They should only be allowed to do 1 job at a time. But they are doing whatever they feel like doing. This is seriously making Americans sad and they are depressed about the whole thing. Indians are getting greedy day by day. Think about your citizens first. Please!REPORT COMMENTS

First, there is 100,000 people with H4 EAD card, but not all these 100,000 get hired in U.S. and further not all these hired people are provided high-paid or high skilled jobs. I am not sure why so many people assuming these people with EAD card made a fake resume and easily get a well job from tech companies. That's ridiculous. Maybe there is a very little portion of this situation but I believe the job market and the HR department is fair in most cases. These people get the jobs because they just qualified and they still pay all the income tax as the same as americans. In contrast, they brought houses, cars and all the stuffs which stimulate the economy. I do not know why some people willing to push and see all these benefits shifts to Canada or Australia and claimed they do all this for america.REPORT COMMENTS

The reason people are against h4 EAD is because we are seeing many indian house wives who never had an IT educational background are now getting training and with fake resumes and procy interview settings getting placed in to IT jobs. When othjers are struggling to find a job, H1b's and citizens are struggling to find a job, these H4 EAD holders are enjoying the max. There should be strict rules if H4 EAD holders are applying for professional jobs. They should be allowed to work in shops. But with the current situation they are spoiling the importance of relevant educational background in IT. When it comes to IT field, they should prove that they have the relevant educational background and experience same like how H1b 's do. Now H4 EAD is equivalent to american citizenship when it comes to jobs.REPORT COMMENTS

I am not sure why are so many people against H4 EAD. Yuu can cry foul on top of your lungs but it will be of no use. So far, nothing happened right? My wife is on H4 EAD and she will continue to work. I also noticed comments that people from a particular state in India are largely misusing H1B visas. It is common sense right? Some claim that they fake resumes and fill the job positions with their brothers, brother in laws and sisters. Some say that they screen candidates to eliminate US persons and anyone not from that state. If all this is true? why don't companies do something about it? Stop complaining and start competing for the job.REPORT COMMENTS

So my wife who is here in US on H4 practiced Dental Hygiene for 7 years in Canada. Now she has cleared her National board and clinical exams here in US as well and obtained license to practice dental hygiene. Can someone explain to me how she will 'fake' her credentials and get a job? I am not sure why some people here think that most of the H4 EAD get a job on fake resumes. I don't know what kind of mentality that is. She is getting calls from Dental offices ready to hire her based on her experience. Also, I am not sure if many people know but there are about only a 100,000 H4 EAD with work authorization in entire US as of now. That is 0.03 % of population of USA. Not a all of these H4 EADs are actually employed. Some run businesses and actually employe other people mostly US citizens or permanent residents. So how can a 0.03% (that is 3 people out of 10,000) population is taking away all jobs and causing all problems? How is shutting down programs like these is the only solution? US has million of people who come to visit every year on visitor's visa from 100s of countries. Some of them come here and do illegal things. So what should US do? Shut down the visitor visa program and never allow any one to come visit US?REPORT COMMENTS

Verdict on behalf of Americans:- All we hear from these people is complains, they are taking American’s 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’s special about it. You are sending your kids to public schools, which are run on American’s tax money. Property taxes are shooting up, as more and more of these kids are coming, and most Americans have to bear the burden 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, you all knew when they came here. They complain, “We did not know about backlog when we came”...Today there is huge backlog, still you are getting into the queue and creating more backlog. Stop selling these false stories. We are not fool. We understand what you are doing. Stay with your kids, no one is asking you to stay here. Suckers, don’t show any sign of highly skilled. Highly skilled in playing these cards and petitioning our Congress, “Female spouses, barred in jails”, “families are separated save H4”, “ slavery for H1”. Highly skilled in what? If you can’t make your own country and create jobs, how can you claim yourself to be highly skilled. We voted for Trump, as you are stealing our jobs. Our president promised to work for us. MAGA! From past two years actions of current administration, this should be very clear to everyone. You can lobby, you can beg, but Trump will not change his promise to the American people. “My people, I will not betray”. In 2016 we voted for Trump, and we will vote for Trump administration in 2020. Secure yourself and your families, don’t beg. We agree, you are highly skilled. Please do us a favor. Make your own country and create jobs in your home countries. Make this world a better place to live. Highly skilled visa criterion will be simple, we will take truly highly skilled kids graduating from top schools and Ivy. God bless America. We will fix the root cause of this problem H1/L visa.REPORT COMMENTS

Dear people ( all who are against H4 EAD), Most of You are against H4EAD because its being misused. I request you all to campaign against misusing instead. We are not greedy and are not interested to take away your job at all. We respect this country and people for its prosperity and work culture. We come here to get better experience. Most of us are talented ( not comparing to citizens here) and might be beneficial for the organizations that recuriut us. I have worked in my country for 6 years, where I gained experience with my intelligence an lot of hard work. H4 EAD is good opportunity for people like me to continue providing services to organizations here and get improved instead of wasting time and knowledge jailed at home. Please recognize our talents and provide us opportunities without effecting the talented people here. Somebody compared Americans who are working hard to get food on to the table to people on H4 EAD. Are you comparing the equally educated people working in same field or area or just a mere comparison?REPORT COMMENTS

Isn't it breathtaking, the sheer entitlement these foreigners, especially Indians feel, to our nation, to our jobs?? It is astounding to say the least. As if the H1B was not enough for India Inc and their syndicate to decimate the native IT worker, now they want their spouses to compete for jobs that the Average Joe/Jane would use to feed her family. Most Americans are struggling and working 2 jobs just to put food on the table whereas these folks want to incomes to remit more back to their country, most probably India. Have some shame Indians, have some empathy on the havoc you are wreaking on this nation. Most native-born Americans have completely given up on IT due to the ethnic nepotism and favoritism the Indians have displayed in their roles and managers. Now their spouses want to snatch the lower end ones from the everyday Americans. Such a heartless group of people. Such lack of empathy. Such love for money. Indians have to be the most outwardly religious but inwardly materialist people in this country.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm not totally against H4-EAD. I can understand the pain of staying at home and not being financially independent for years. But i can definitely say it is misused a lot. Wife of H1B holder from IT or non IT background with or without relevant experience can easily get into IT jobs after 4-5 year gaps. What really happens is they fake experiences just by getting a letter head of any Indian company. I know people on H4 EADs, they are depressed in being home for years but as soon as they get their EAD they jump into targeting the IT industry which gives more income. I still support H4 EAD who genuine and working as per their real experience and knowledge. But personally still know people who got into IT by faking experiences and know people around me who are still putting fake experiences and trying hard to get into an IT job.

Lol @ New Braunfels, Tx. Why don't you tell us how to make India better? I would be glad to vote you in as our Prime Minister or into our legislature if you can show me a detailed and good plan to make India better. Saying something like "Trust me guys, I will make India great again" is not a detailed plan and neither is "git good and stop corruption". You cannot actually say "Stop corruption" and make it stop. If you can solve that problem there is a Noble prize waiting for you. 100,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to the US population of around 350 million. The argument that H4 EADs cause loss of jobs for the locals is not backed up by data. People calling for them to be revoked are saying so without any tangible evidence. Everyone who is working on a H4 EAD is paying taxes and spending their money here in the US. Why take away someone's ability to be a productive member of the society based on unfounded accusations? And not all these H4 EAD holders are actually working for someone. Some are spending their own savings and starting businesses leading to direct employment for Americans. Cancelling H4 EAD will destroy their business and cause all their employees to lose their jobs. Is that the American way? Destroy the small guys who dared to take risk and tie their financial future to US?REPORT COMMENTS

Revoke! As I read the comments from supporters of H4ead, I can't help but notice the expressions of entitlement. You are not American citizens and can not appreciate the turmoil that your employment causes to equally good people who want the the opportunity to flourish in their country of birth. I have long been puzzled by the inability or unwillingness of Indians to stay and make their own country better. There are so many needs and certainly opportunities abound to make your own country great. So why is this not done? Some of the comments ask for fairness and that is what Americans are asking for. As long as unscrupulous companies continue to cheat and lie to immigrate as many H1B workers and subsequently H4ead spouses as they can, resentment wil, continue. And as long as many of you supporting the bills will continue to advocate for yourselves and ask that we continue the status quo and look at abuses by "others", we can never find a balance.REPORT COMMENTS

Please note spouses of H1B Visa Holders can get a job by applying for H1b visas. Most married Indian couples I know are H1B. The rest of the spouses do not have an engineering degree or are unqualified to get a job on their own. Now there is a long wait for Green Card for Indians because Indian consulting firms and their sub-par engineers gamed the system. Now these housewives who have had corporate jobs in non-technical skills, want to work not because they cannot live off of their husband's income but because they are bored, depressed or want more things. .How is it fair that you have about 1,00,000 spouses taking technical and non- technical jobs without US Degrees? Along with 100,000 on average who qualify for such Visa Green Card continues to be issued. So we have doubled their quota, given into their privileged demands all while undermining our own people? Also, thesedemanding, entitled housewives and their husbands are using the same tactic their husband and consulting firms used - faking their resumes - and getting tech jobs. Qualified domestic and international students are the ones suffering from these housewives who wanted to marry a US based engineer, come here and make claims that they pay taxes. News flash brats. Everyone does so we can get collective benefits. You are not special for paying taxes. Go back to India and stop demanding that we sacrifice our daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, not to forget talented domestic and international engineers because you are bored or daddy is not sending you pocket money.REPORT COMMENTS
