US plans to strip H1B immigrants' spouses of work permits
According to the current queue times, many of these people will die of old age before being able to legally work and their spouse getting a green card.<p>This rule only applied after waiting six years in the green card queue. Is 90k folks in the entire US really that high when fields like Computer Security have 0% unemployment? This might end up encouraging offshoring.<p>Country based discrimination at it&#x27;s finest.<p>Born in the wrong countries(China&#x2F;India) = 70 years waiting for a green card and dying before your spouse can legally work.<p>Born in the right countries = Green card in 7 months and being able to work instantly.
