DHS Delays Elimination of H-4 EAD

Last February, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) delivered its proposed rule to eliminate the ability of H-4 visa status holder to secure Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).  Since then, there has been no news until just recently, when DHS announced that the publication of the proposed rule would be delayed until at least March 2020, in connection with a pending federal lawsuit filed involving the H-4 EAD benefit.  We will keep you posted on any further news and developments regarding the H-4 EAD rescission issue.
