Good news for Indian techies in the US! An appeals court has upheld a federal rule allowing spouses of H-1B visa holders to work in the United States. This decision comes from a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which dismissed the challenge brought forth by Save Jobs USA, a group representing US-born tech workers. The court’s ruling affirmed a lower court’s decision, ensuring that the “Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses” regulation, established during the Obama administration, remains in effect.
