Absolutely, spouses of H1B holders should be allowed to work. Think about it—these are often highly educated, skilled individuals who are forced into career stagnation simply because of outdated visa rules. Many H4 visa holders are doctors, engineers, teachers, and researchers. By barring them from working, the U.S. wastes immense human capital. Economically, it makes sense too. When H4 spouses can work, they contribute tax revenue, spend money in local economies, and reduce dependency on a single breadwinner. From a mental health perspective, being allowed to pursue a career also helps families integrate better into American society. In my view, allowing H4 employment is not just about fairness—it’s about maximizing national potential. Otherwise, the U.S. risks losing entire families of talent to countries like Canada, which already allow work rights for spouses of skilled workers.
