  I think this article is reflective of the status of people on H4 visa. The world is moving towards becoming more global and it is important for the immigration authorities to realize that. I can be in any country and work for a company in another country. How are they going to prevent so called job losses. Protectionist policy is a thing of the past, I think they should be more open minded to competition and face it rather than put restrictions on people.
  I'm on H4 status myself and I've been here for 10 months now volunteering some of my time. Infact when I came here I did get a job offer but when my immigration status was disclosed the employers could not wait for the quota to open. It indeed gets frustating at times and I hope women and men on H4 status can come together to lobby for better opportunities. Nobody is asking for any preferential treatment just an opportunity to compete with the rest of the corporate work force.
  With the Indian economy doing so well in anther 20 years we'd have people scrambling to India for Green cards. Global world!!!!!
