Google is leading a determined effort by US tech giants to support a programme that gives work authorisation for spouses of those possessing H-1B foreign work visas, the most sought after among Indian IT professionals.
Goggle is joined by 30 other companies to support the H-4 EAD programme. An H-4 visa is issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to immediate family members of the H-1B visa holders.
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
