I am an H-1B worker, can my spouse work?

No. Under the current regulations, H-4 dependent spouses of principle H-1B holders are unable to work in the United States. However, as part of its effort to attract and retain highly skilled immigrants, the Department of Homeland Security is in the process of proposing rules to extend employment authorization to spouses of certain H-1B workers.
