DHS anticipates that there would be two primary impacts that DHS can estimate and quantify: the cost-savings accruing to forgone future filings by certain H-4 dependent spouses, and labor turnover costs that employers of H-4 workers could incur when their employees’ EADs are terminated. Some U. S. workers would benefit from this proposed rule by having a better chance at obtaining jobs that some of the population of the H-4 workers currently hold, as the proposed rule would no longer allow H-4 workers to enter the labor market early. 原文里提到了terminated,而不是expired。貌似有可能直接终止?

这个“certain”字眼嘛,本来就不是所有的H4 spouse可以申请EAD的。需要H1B另一半 的140 approve了才行。 The H4 visa based EAD is available only to spouses of H-1 visa holders who fall into one of following two categories: H-1B spouse must be the beneficiary of an approved I-140, petition for immigrant worker. ... H-1B spouse must have extended H1B status beyond the initial 6 years under AC-21 rule in one year increments.

My understanding: Not all H-4s are eligible for H-4 EAD. The "certain H-4 spouses" refer to H-1B with an approved 140, which cover all current H-4 EAD holders.

title写的很明确了: "Removing H-4 Dependent Spouses from the Class of Aliens Eligible for Employment Authorization" 就是把 H4排除出去

USCIS will get tons of lawsuits if they revoke all approved H-4 EADs. I don' t believe USCIS will do it.
