    Please don't post or spread this kind of petitions against H4 EAD. H4 EAD proposal takes care of pool souls whom are stuck as dependents, and this is going to help the whole economy in general. Fake resume is a general issue, and should not be mixed up with the H4 EADs.

    I strongly disagree this petition. H4 EAD RULE SHOULD BE PASSED as it helps a lot of dependent H1B spouses to start working. And as far as fake resumes are concerned, I believe a thorough background checking should be implemented.

    Its a problem with fake resume not the H4-EAD. Dont make yourself foolish by saying people faking it. H4 EAD should be granted as it gives authority to work for dependent rather than sitting at home and doing nothing.....

    Already Americans are loosing jobs due to H1B workers. what is happening to this country? After some days, most of the americans will be jobless/homeless while H1B keep taking their jobs and on the top of that H4 EAD.

    Please grant EAD to foreign graduates from US universities. People who spend $80,000-$100,000 for tuition while supporting American universities with revenue are forced to leave the country with huge student loans because of lack of visas. Some are forced to convert to H4 visas if they are married. So H4's with a valid US degree should be given EAD.

    The problem is FAKE resume and not H4-EAD. That problem is at equal level for all work authorizations... H1b / OPT / CPT/ L1 / L2 / GC... etc. This is not a problem created by issuing EADs to H4. Our System should find a way to solve it and not deny Eligible and qualified talented people. Not giving EAD to h4 is definitely NOT the answer its rather Injustice. Your conclusion (PLEASE DO NOT PASS THIS RULE) is TOTALLY WRONG

    Petition says thorough background check on education and skill sets before giving EAD. Whats wrong with that? I support it. It prevents certain individuals from taking advantage of the system. I read some of the comments and I am shocked how some people are blatantly denying that employment system is flawed(especially in IT) and people are showing fake resumes to get hired. I know that most of these H4s will end up showing fake resume because if they have more than 1 year of gap on their resume most of the employers won't offer them jobs because lot of employers don't like to see long break in job history. So how else will these H4s get job even after they get EAD...answer is simple- they will add fake experience to their resume. Lets not pretend like this wont happen and it won't affect job market. I think if these individuals are really talented and skilled then they should be able to get H1 sponsorship.

    By the way all the H4 individuals that I know who have real experience,real degrees or actual skills ended up applying for H1B visas and are now working. Why can't other H4 individuals do the same? My spouse was on H4 for 5 years and I don't believe when people say that individuals on H4 have tough life. Not having second income in your family does not mean you have tough life,there are lot of US citizens who are living tougher life.

    I completely agree with this petition. If this petition is passed it does not help USA in any which way, it only helps certain H4 individuals who will misuse the system with fake resumes, work for less pay to under cut job applicants with real experience. There is already a precedence of this happening in IT industry...L2,J2 visa holders are already misusing their EAD status. If this H4 to EAD law is passed it will end up having adverse affect on economy. And if this law is going to be passed then at least do thorough background check of this H4 individuals before giving them EAD.

    I wonder why this petition even initiated, I would likely to understand what happen exactly , if H4 get EAD (In other word work permit) , fake resume flooding(are not they already flooded) , inexperience candidate comes to IT market (they have been providing their services perfectly and efficiently otherwise they got fired already)or all other meaningless allegation doesn't even have enough weigh not give authorization to H4 EAD. H4 EAD are those candidate who will get there GC and citizenship in near future ,Will you have urge to say same thing afterward (I believe not) . The Idea about applying for H1B its not pretty much convicting ,after investing a big amount ,you will get a H1b thought a consulting company no doubt , they will earn big sum of money from you for long period of time , as per your contract you can't leave that company so you can't be independent . H4EAD will give you chance to work independently without tied up with anyone, as results lots of consulting company will loss their business . I don't find any significance cause of this petition to get approved , Please approved H4 EAD

    This is about freedom and not about job. This is the modern slavry and keeping our significant under productive and tighting them down with restriction is not fair at any level.. Poor dependent can't even open their bank account or have social security to have identity in U.S.. This is very sad and unhuman...Please ignore this petition and approve H4 to EAD card so they can breath like us...

    Wow! What a waste of petition is this. I totally disagree this petition. Fake people anyways will do fake things. How is it related to this H4 EAD? If people and GOVT are really concerned about fake resumes, let them bring back ground check to all.

    I disagree with this Petition. Not all the H4 / Spouses are incapable (or) fake. Not only Indians many people in IT industry fake on the skills . Getting H1-B being in H4 is not easy (joke). They are rejected / failed many times due to the link between job offer and H1-B application criterias.. Giving EAD legality for capable people is a legimate option. Fake skills can be filtered in many other different ways. Please approve EAD ASAP.

    I strongly disagree with this petition. It is the hiring managers and employer who should have a screening process clearly defined to differentiate fake vs genuine candidate for the job. I don't see any reason why Govt/ USCIS should stop H4-EAD Rule. I Welcome this rule and should become active soon.

    This will create a alot of fake resume and fake experience. If they are really qualified they are welcome to apply H1B Visa. I see a lot of people said that I have degree from a reputed college and sitting at home. If they are really qualified they can apply H1B.

    Kindly Approve EAD for H4 Visa. There are many people sitting at home even though they have very good degrees. I did bachelors in a reputed college and had 5 years exp. After coming to US cannot do a job because I'm on H4.
