U.S. considers ending rule allowing spouses of H-1B visa holders to work

If they had any idea what it costs to live in a popular work-visa place like Silicon Valley or Austin, they’d never even consider this. Oh, and there’s already a good chance the visa holder is underpaid due to shenanigans (nothing like the risk of losing your visa from switching jobs to keep you in one place, with no ability to negotiate).

The entire U.S. immigration system needs a massive dose of humanity injected. It’s ridiculous how their methods needlessly create stress on individuals and families. The DEFAULT policy in any situation should be: “treat this HUMAN BEING like a human being, a potential contributor to our greatness who clearly wants to be here, do everything possible to make their contribution easy”.
