Fact: H-4 visa holders are not taking jobs away from U.S. citizens or permanent residents. In fact, the vast majority of H-4 visa holders are highly educated professionals, many with advanced degrees, who contribute to sectors with high demand for skilled labor—like technology, healthcare, and engineering. The Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for eligible H-4 visa holders allows them to work legally in the U.S. but that does not mean they are displacing U.S. workers. Research has shown that granting work authorization to H-4 visa holders can benefit the U.S. economy by increasing household income, boosting tax revenue, and helping businesses retain skilled talent in industries that face labor shortages. Moreover, the work performed by H-4 visa holders is often in specialized fields where the U.S. workforce has gaps, meaning they are filling positions that would otherwise remain unfilled. In some cases, H-4 visa holders help companies grow, which can lead to the creation of more American jobs.
