Ina filing with a federal judge, USCIS indicated that it has delayed therevocation of the H-4/EAD rule. USCISsays that “the earliest possible publication date” of the revocation is spring2020. This is good news for H-4 /EADholders.
Thereare rumors that the USCIS has badly miscalculated the negative impact on the USeconomy, which is why the revocation of the rule has been ongoingfor two years. Rules of thistype must be approved by the Office of Management and Budget, which likely hascalled into question USCIS’ calculations.
Even if a rule ispublished by USCIS, it will have to offer the rule to the public for notice andcomment, a process that will likely receive much scrutiny and could furtherdelay the Trump Administration’s attempts at revocation.
