Intlo chesukone pani ki value ledhannattu unnaru ga.. what is the point man? Housewives have a different respect. Thappu ledhu if they take care of the family. Deni value daanidhe. Career/dreams are not as important as one’s family. They will not help you in the long run. Chesaru ante chesaru. They cannot do complicated jobs. Girls complicated jobs chesaru ante either your life gets complicated or they turn into psychos.

What about men? Is career/dreams not important for them as well when compared to their family?

Some people work to make a living, some people work to make a life for themselves. Money is a consequence, but not the purpose of work.

Department of Homeland Security is seeking to remove the permit granted in 2015 that allows spouses of H-1B visa holders who were in the process of obtaining a green card to work.

 

In another major blow for H-1B visa holders, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of the US government has said that it will implement a work ban on spouses of H-1B visa holders this month. Spouses of H-1B visa holders hold the H-4 visa. The plan to ban these visa holders from working was first proposed by DHS in late 2017.

“DHS is publishing this notice of proposed rulemaking to amend that 2015 final rule. DHS is proposing to remove from its regulations certain H-4 spouses of H-1B non-immigrants as a class of aliens eligible for employment authorization,” the DHS website read. This comes as part of the Spring 2019 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.

From February 25, 2015, spouses of H-1B visa holders who were in the process of obtaining a green card were given work permits. DHS now seeks to remove this from its regulations.

Since 2015, Indians, mostly women, have been the beneficiaries of the H-4 visa program, accounting for over 93% of the one lakh visas issued.  

According to Denver Post, the rule was in its final stages in February when it was sent to the Office of Management and Budget for review. “Under the rule-making process, the budget office can recommend changes, before kicking the proposed rule back to Homeland Security,” the report states.

However, migration analysts say that it is unlikely that the rule will get implemented this summer.

Since Donald Trump became the President of the US, immigration rules have been tightened under what Trump called ‘Buy American and Hire American’, in a bid to boost employment for US citizens. The US currently prefers giving H-1B visas for those who hold master’s degrees from the US itself.

According to government statistics, Indians are the biggest beneficiaries of H-1B visas. 76% of the total visas issued went to professionals from India last year.

However, IT companies, which have been the biggest beneficiaries of the H-1B visa, have been suffering setbacks due to the tightened rules.  And not just new visas, extensions have been seeing more rejections as well.

According to the Centre for Immigration Studies (CIS), US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is slowly reducing approval rates on a case-by-case basis in 2019, as compared to 2015.

CIS states that while there are nearly 750,000 H-1B workers in the US, there are usually more H-1B workers on extended visas than on new ones. More questions are now being asked when visa extensions are sought, CIS says. This is usually called requests for evidence (RFEs) and as per the data, approval rates after RFEs have dropped from 95.7% in 2015 to 61.5% in the first three months of this fiscal year.

Baboo.. biggest cost in your life is not mortgage payments. It is the money you spend on your health. Wife at home means healthy husband and kids. If wife is working, you or your kids will develop health problems for sure. If she can cook and keep the house clean, adhe padhivelu. @karthikn

Savings undakapovadam irresponsibility on the part of the family. Jobs povadam kooda irresponsibility by the husband. Like I said, girls should marry someone far richer than themselves so that they don’t feel these problems. Naa ishtam ani sampadhinchaleni vanni cheskunte that is her problem. Mostly girls who end up in middle class families are the ones who chose looks over riches.

May 27, 2019 – H4EAD Revoke Fake News

H4 EAD news update today: A news from a website called GreatAndhra is doing the rounds today whose headline claims that the H4 EAD revoke process has started. They have just made a catchy headline for people to get scared and is not true.

H4 EAD fake news circulating H4 EAD fake news circulating

They picked up this news from EconomicTimes Indian website who’s article content also does not say that OMB has published anything. They also just talk about OMB review period.

Do not worry. The H4EAD removal rule making process was started more than a year ago. There is nothing new here.

 

 

Its all becuase of GAS Andhra.

The H4 EAD removal processed is already under review by OMB for more than 90 days now and there is no need to panic at this time. No H4 EAD revoke final rule has been published as the headline probably seems to portray.
