The H4 work authorization has remained in a wait-and-watch state for the tens of thousands who hold the work permit. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Review held a review meeting on May 1, but so far there has not been any official update on the fate of H4-EAD.

“The timeline for publication of the proposal to eliminate the H-4 EAD remains uncertain, but we’ve moved from ‘any day now’ to expecting it to be delayed,” Puvar said. “It is our understanding that OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has decided that USCIS needs further work on the proposal before OIRA will clear the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) to end the H-4 EAD. This could mean that USCIS will perform further analysis or consider some revisions to the proposal.”
