Spouses of H-1B visa holders in the United States—holding H-4 visas—are eligible to work in the country through an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). However, in October, the Trump administration ended the automatic renewal of EADs, making it difficult for H-1B spouses to continue working seamlessly. Impact of Ending Automatic RenewalOver 100,000 Indian nationals are currently H-1B spouses with valid EADs. Under the “Interim Final Rule” implemented by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), once an EAD expires, holders cannot legally work until their renewal application is approved. Previously, EADs were automatically extended for up to 540 days, allowing H-4 visa holders to continue employment while waiting for renewal. Without automatic renewal, spouses face gaps in employmen...

For international students in the US, securing a job during Optional Practical Training (OPT) can be challenging. Many students turn to consulting firms to help them find employment. While some firms successfully assist students, others have been involved in scams, making it essential for students to verify the legitimacy of any firm before engagement.

Crucially, the student requested a key legal document called the Operating Agreement, which ensured transparency and legal compliance. What is an Operating Agreement?In the US, all Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are required to have an Operating Agreem...
