Dear President Obama and Director Mayorkas,
I am sure everyone truly appreciates the steps your administration, the USCIS and DHS have been initiating to help skilled immigrants to pursue their academic and career goals in this country.
Please do something to grant at least temporary work permits even maybe for 20 hours per week to the educated spouses on dependent visas (F2 and H4). Foreign students contribute to the economy by investing funds in this country by way of tuition and living expenses. Studying and providing for family becomes very strenuous and stressful. At least on humanitarian grounds please consider giving the spouses an opportunity to work at least part time so that they have something worthwhile to do while they are in this country.
I am one of those spouses who need your help.
Thank you so much
Dear President Obama and Director Mayorkas,
I do not understand why there are so many undesirable people allowed to enter into the United States but yet they are finding every possible reason to delay allowing the wife of an American Citizen/ex-military man into the United States so she can continue taking the legal path to become a US Citizen herself... at her husband's side where she belongs. They were legally married in the United States, and they lived here for a while before moving to be closer to her family. Now they are trying to move back to the States.... he was forced to continue on alone.... without his wife! It is not fair nor right!
I do understand that our borders need to be protected but, I also believe in Family!
Please help my family be allowed to be together again!
I want to know why the immigration office is not doing their jobs. there are illegals protesting out in the open and no one is picking them up and sending back to their own country.in case no one knows the definition of the word illegal it means forbidden by law or statute. so people that are here illegally have no right to be here and they have no right to demand anything. they are criminals because they are braking the law. a new law needs to be passed making part of any State or Federal law officers job description to arrest any illegals they come in to contact with in any situation instead of looking the other way. this would be a great help to all of Americas immigration offices and officers.
To whom it may concern:
I do understand the need for equality and helping others, but what about citizens in the U.S. that are in need of jobs? What plans are being made for this to happen? WHat are your thoughts on this matter?
Dear Director
Please do some thing for EB3 India Backlog. As compare to all other countries and Categories. do some justice to these humans also. whom you are treating as a step child.
We are humans like all others and staying legal ,paying fees and taxes for long time. We have families and emotions and goals in life.
many of us will turn into good enterpuners as we have good experience in US business market from more than 10 years.
Please !!!!!!!!!!!! .
Thanks
Over the first and second quarter Eb2 Priority date for India and China was advanced from July 2007 to May 2010, almost 3 years. USCIS did not follow processing order of receipt date or priority date and simply adjudicated the low hanging fruits without care for the people waiting in queue for several years. And now we are being told the visa bulletin is false and there are no visa numbers since it is used up. It was not a competition to use up visa numbers, USCIS had to process cases in order so nobody is treated unfairly or jumps the queue, but you failed and we feel cheated after waiting for 8 years for date to become current. Is there any way you reinstate our faith in USCIS or its ways?
It's a good sign that EB2 I/C is moving so quickly for last few months and jumped almost 3 years. All of sudden now they realize that it's too much they are going to retrogress the dates to 2007 when you are already in May 2010. If USCIS is taking this much long time for issuing Green Cards for EB2 category people so forget about the EB3 people, investing their time and future just for staying in USA. I would say invest that time in your own country as they are growing very good and future is there not in US. One side they are saying that they will give Green Cards to all Masters degree people so they can create more jobs and at the same time they play with this visa bulletin dates back and forth....I have read so many times on internet that US people hardly work during the whole week compare to many other countries and who works are not originally from US. So imagine all immigrants returns to their own country...Imagine US economy at that point...But they love to play games with this immigration and make money with different forms fees...
I would suggest all immigrants waiting for getting green signal to stay in US, just return to your own country and make difference there....
I do understand the need for equality
and helping others, but what about
citizens in the U.S. that are in need of
jobs? What plans are being made for this
to happen? WHat are your thoughts on this matter?
They simply don't want to work...And those immigrants with higher degrees can not start a business and hire people due to visa status. There are lots of examples of immigrants return to home country and start business and creates job because they got tired. TIME VALUE MONEY. They don't want to wait for their idea to execute just because of their status...
Please do something to grant at least temporary work permits even maybe for 20 hours per week to the educated spouses on dependent visas.
All states need to adopt immigration law it helps the legal u.s citizens have jobs, they dont have a legal right to jobs,security, or constitutional rights
USA needs IT immigrants. Without immigrant people they will have to outsource and more job will go away...
We are all human like everyone else for a long time to stay legal pay fees and taxes. We have families and feelings and life goals.
Many of us will become the good enterpuners because we have good experience from more than 10 years in the business market in the United States.
if any please give them a good education, good health and so on. however they are also human beings who must be considered and should not be wasted. thank you for having to load the comments, and awaited your comments
Is this program's desire to "attract highly skilled immigrants" due to the fact that foreign workers are more qualified than their American equivalents, or is it simply an initiative to increase diversity at the expense of US-born workers?
This is always the never ending story, you need immigrants when the economy goes well, but when the economy falters, then the immigrants become a burden, but should not be forgotten that these people is what keeps the economy when everything goes well ... have to compromise between these two factors, and this is not an easy task.
Regards
it´s a realytie that a lot of people go to the USA searching for new oportunities and mucho of the are searching to build a small business. For example I want to have my company in USA because the law of my contry is so obsolete with the topic of internet, and my business is internet base on.
sorry for my english

citizens in the U.S. that are in need of

US gov should encourage skilled people to settle in this country , cut the benefits and public sector expenses.

We live in Florida and have one of the highest homeless rates in Casselberry. Many have seen it on the news. I think it was 60 minutes. A lot of these people lost there jobs and had nowhere to go. Are you looking at helping these people?
If anybody wants to work, they can find work. It will be little different financially, but you can get work if someone really wants to. I have seen homeless people with cellphones and nice cars because government takes money from all of us to provide services to these homeless people for free so if they are getting it for free they think why they have to work... if they work they have to pay taxes, instead we pay taxes and they enjoy for free.

Interesting post. And interesting comments. Immigration is always a tough subject. Thanks for sharing - I will do the same!
Interesting and important information. It is really beneficial for us. Thanks

Please allow H-4 visa holders to work. We are also humans and please give us the basic right to earn our bread. If L-2 visa holders can work, why we are not allowed to work. H-1B visa holders are here to do specialized jobs. They work here, live here and pay taxes. They are left with no savings. Since their spouses are not allowed to work, when they go back, they can hardly find a job due to the long career gaps. If you can't appreciate H-1B visa holders and their family, cancel the concept of H visas and allow only the L visa holders to serve you.
It has been more than a year since the rule 'Allowing Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses to Apply for Employment Authorization' was introduced but nothing has been done to implement it. Being on H4 visa has made me lose self-confidence and doubt my abilities and skills as an educated woman. And I'm not alone; there are thousands of such women who are waiting anxiously for this rule to be implemented. I request you to please implement this rule immediately and allow women on H4 visa to work.
what about citizens in the U.S. that are in need of jobs? What plans are being made for this to happen? WHat are your thoughts on this matter?

if U.S. citizens were willing to work then U.S. won't need people from other countries but i guess they are not willing to work what immigrants are capable of doing. that's why it's important to allow immigrants to work specially in STEM. if that does not happen US will be left behind when all immigrants go back to their countries and start companies and create jobs.

Thanks for all of you who spoke for the H4 visa holder cause. we really deserve better than this. We are highly educated from our home country and even get highly credentialed to do anything in any specialty here. But can't because of those ridiculous restrictions. I have seen families torn apart because of that and it is heartbreaking.
I am here on the H4 visa since last 7 years. It's been a frustrating and long wait. I don't have a clue for how long will it take for my EAD to arrive. I am educated, qualified, intelligent and hard working, but seems like all this does not matter when you land in this country on the H4 visa. I believe that not providing us the right to work is a form of discrimination. I feel unfortunate when I am rejected in a job interview for the reason that
I am on the H4 visa. It seems all my knowledge and skills are deteriorating as I haven't used them in past 7 years and EAD doesn't seem to be happening soon. This huge gap in my career will not be well
appreciated by the companies when I'll want to work once I get my EAD. Waiting for Green Card is an endless journey. I am afraid that this huge
employment gap might ultimately make me unemployable over time.
I came here because I was told that America is a nation that rewards those who deserve it. Less did I know that there are so many loop-holes involved, especially when on the H4 visa. The American system emphasizes on equality to all applicants/candidates (irrespective of his/her nationality, religion, race etc.), then why has this issue not been given any
consideration all this while??? Being born in a specific country seems to be a major hurdle in the progress of deserving and hard-working people who are sincere in abiding by all the country rules and regulations!!! :-(

Hi
Mr. President
Congratulations for your reelection.
I fall into that category where i loose all my dreams and identity, my mistake is that i married love of me life and followed him to USA. As he is on H1B visa i get H4(dependent visa), which felt like curse to me because i am Electronics Engineer with masters in Human Resources from India and have more than 4 years of experience with one of the leading companies in India. But the irony is my status in USA doesn't allow me to work, it doesn't allow me to contribute to my family and economy of the country as well.Is this correct. This doesn't benefit anyone of us. Due to single income we have lot of financial crises and we couldn't afford basic need of life.
I am in depression because of not able to use my skills to support my family. Sir, you are my only hope. Please pass this (EAD for certain H1B spouses) rule. Our souls will bless you.
Thanking You
Yours sincerely
Shraddha Sharma
Dear president obama
please allow h4 or dependent spouses to work ..after studying so much in their country they are all highly qualified ..atleast allow part time work for them so that they can utilize their hardwork and contribut to their family and to the economy of the country as well..nowadays it very difficult to run a family with single income...you are our only hope...please allow a ead or a part time work permit ..our only mistake is that we married the love of our lives(I am sure that s the problem with everyone)..let us utilize our years of study..help the economy and help the family too..please try to do something...we all will bless you forever...

US government should support some people who has skills yet not enough budget to start business. There are many people who have many experiences and they can help the economy in the US. I hope the government can improve the service for them.
