NON WORKING SPOUSES OF HIGHLY SKILLED IMMIGRANTS CAN NOW WORK AND STIMULATE THEIR PROFESSIONAL AMBITION AND THE US ECONOMY.

The Obama administration announced a visa rule revision that allows spouses of some highly skilled immigrants to apply to work in the U.S. as early as 2015. (February 24, 2015).
This revision is ground breaking for spouses of immigrants who were previously only limited to an H-4 visa which did not allow them to obtain a social security number.
