H-4 Visa Holders to Receive Work Permission Soon. Finally! Seattle Globlist Reports

The Seattle Globalist reported on the significant immigration change to come soon for H-4 visa holders.  At the moment, work permission is not given to this visa category.  However, from May 26th, 2015- USCIS will start accepting applications for work authorization from H-4 visa holders.  It generally takes 90 days for a work authorization to process.  So, I expect America to have a brand new set of work force from end of August/beginning of September.  Thank you to the Seattle Globalist and reporter Lornet Turnbull for discussing this important issue.
