    I strongly disagree this petition, it is completely baseless, this is like giving a very wrong message by saying that all H4's put fake resumes, I strongly condemn this as I saw many H4 wife's who are really talented professionals and had good work experience in their home country, were simply sitting at home and going into depression over time, and not all are IT professionals, there are so many people who are experienced in different fields.

    I strongly disagree with this petition. Why do we have to cage H1b Visa workers spouses? I mean It really doesn't make any sense. US is a democratic country and everyone has a right to do want they want to do. Forcing women to sit home and don't work is completely non humanitarian. I have seen lot of my friends who are engineers are sitting home because they cannot work though they have skills to do good job and in the end they all have gone into depression and their familes have suffered. Few of them have gone back to other countries where they can work. If we want to see US growing, we should allow these skillful women to work, this would be beneficial to US economy. I feel it is injustice to these spouses. I strongly condemn this petition.

    H4 EAD bill should be passed which will help so many people who resigned their jobs previously and came to USA just because of marriage. They might have done graduation/Post graduation by spending 20 years but doing nothing in USA.H4 visa spoiling peoples life and dreams but H4 EAD will fix it like L2 EAD. I saw people mentioned that fake profiles, These day interview process is very much improved and accepting profiles only from LinkedIn.

    Why H4's to be cursed. Let me ask 2 questions to the people who are disagreeing with the proposal of H4 EAD. 1. Can H4 candidates are eligible to work ( is this a work visa). No it's not a work visa it is a dependant visa. Then how can they get the experience? Give me fair answer. 2. Ok if they get the EAD / GC after ther regular process. Let us say after 10 years or more Can some one tell me. Can they get the experience just simply getting the GC / EAD after long waiting 10years/15years. I think they dont get the experience. Then what is there situation (future). As per some comments from the people (who disagree with H4 EAD proposal) It looks like they(H4) cannot work at all in IT in there lifetime even they have qualified degrees. I think it is a curse for them. It looks

    I strongly oppose this petition as it does not make sense. Not all spouses want to work in the IT field. There are people who just want to get out of home and do some work. Also the person who has posted this petition seems to suggest H4 spouses will fake their resumes to get into IT jobs but again quite a lot of H1's do that currently. I think a petition should be raised to crack down on fake H1's first before stopping spouses who have spent years sitting at home without the option of working and getting out of their homes to have a career for themselves.

    I strongly disagree with this petition. Not every H4 is entitle to get EAD from the new proposal and not every dependent spouse is catering or craving for IT jobs. There are management, Healthcare , legal and accounting background dependents,who will benefit from this rule. I agree to certain extent that, for IT jobs, people will fake their resumes,but that can be contained by thorough and stringent interview process. And also if dependents of L1 VISA can have EAD, why not H1B dependents.

    I strongly agree to this petition. Most of the H4 enter into this country using the spouse's marriage relation ship. They might not have invested their time and energy for their career building as like others. Hence it is needed to verify them with their criteria to identify the talent and allow them to job market else the market would be flooded with faq resumes and the real potential person chances to seek the market would get affected. I strongly urge the government to take a note on this.

    I strongly disagree ....1) all and every h4 visa holders are not going to get ead. .only those who are future American citizens. And agenda is to retain high skilled h1s who are leaving the country because their highly educated spouses doesn't get to work here. And such high skilled and experience people are rare and not easy to find which can help US economy to grow. 2) By mentioning about fraud interviews and experiences here are questioning US recruitment process. Also if any one has such experience than should file petition for that particular issue....why highly educated and skilled h4 who has not even got chance to appear for an interview should suffer. Please stop covering your own fear of losing jobs in such reasons which doesn't even exists.

    I completely disagree with this petition. People who are afraid of there career with out proper skill set are trying to spread negative thought. Officers who made the H4 EAD rule are highly professionals and saw the bigger problem before taking H4 EAD rule forward.

    I strongly oppose this petition. Agreed that a lot of people are from that IT industry, but there are equal number of people from other professions too. Many of us are in legal, medical, hospitality and teaching industry. So many of my friends want to start a business which will create employment opportunities. Just because there are some fraudulent mis happenings we cannot blindly say no to EAD FOR H4. All bills and jobs are not just about IT people.

    Of course, passage of this rule is going to result in a nightmare in the low end IT work such as QA and System Administrators. If you are an h1B holder and working these positions, kiss your careers good bye. There are jobs on Craigslist "only for OPT holders" starting at $12 per hour. Retaining OPT holders is difficult for a variety of reasons including their youth and mobility. H4 housewives will most likely be homeowners, older and equally desperate. The market will flood with them very quickly. Their myopic husbands are too stupid to realize they are axing their own feet, but we cannot expect any better from the cheating and lying bunch, can we? I for one am pleased. Getting QAs at $12 an hour will improve my bottom line. Good luck to all of you.

    Please don't allow this rule to happen where H4 people will get EAD after I140 approval. It will affect the entire job market. Tough competition for US citizens, these H4 people will either take small jobs or fake their resume to get into IT. Whoever wants a job, please apply H1.

    I disagree with the petition. If resumes are being faked in IT, then that problems needs to be fixed. If resumes can be faked, then people on H1b can fake it too. IT industry needs to fix their actions. I work in health care and resumes are not faked in my field.

    All H4 candidates are not going to work in IT. If you are that good in probability to assume that only IT field is the only job market in the usa then you don't know anything about America. I OPPOSE this petition because this is in your mind and I think it's sexist against women.

    Whoever started this petition is an ignorant of the facts. Under the upcoming rule, only those H4 whose H1B spouses already have approved I-140s or have started the LPR process after being extended visa beyond the 6 year limits under AC21. These H4's are are legal permanent residents in waiting. It is but just to give them EADs while waiting for availability of visas to be given greencards. I HUMBLY OPPOSE THIS PETITION!

    If they are qualified and passionate about building their career and to work, these dependent H4 indian women should have come on work visa instead of taking a short cut of marrying some guy and then attain work visa merely by the qualification of being some ones wife. There are thousands of well educated, qualified girls in india who are working very hard and trying to take the right path and get a work visa instead of taking short cuts. The women who are putting their personal lives on hold just to good education and make something of their lives, are they stupid? Should these women just take the short cut and get married?
