Executive Summary

H-4 Work Authorization Act

This bill provides automatic employment authorization to a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) admitted into the United States as a spouse of an H-1B visa holder (a nonimmigrant worker who is in a special occupation or a fashion model).

Currently, a spouse of an H-1B visa holder must apply separately to receive employment authorization.
