Beginning May 26, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending eligibility for employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants who are seeking employment-based lawful permanent resident status. From this date, DHS will allow these H-4 depedent spouses to accept employment in the U.S.
This step was an important part of the executive action taken by President Obama in November 2014.
