Trump may stop spouses of H-1B visa holders from working

The visa program used by several industries to bring skilled foreign workers -- many of themIndian citizens-- to the U.S. is facingpotential curbsunder President Trump. Their partnersand children could be next in the line of fire.

Since 2015, spousesof H-1B visa holderswaiting for green cards have been eligible to work in the U.S. on H-4 dependent visas, thanks to arule introduced by President Obama.

But a group called Save Jobs USA is challenging that rule in court, and the Trump administration has asked for 60 days to think about it.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a petition last month asking to be given until April 2 "to allow incoming leadership personnel adequate time to consider the issues."

Immigrant support groups worry the delay means Trump will eventually overturn Obama's ruling.
