美或再度收紧移民政策 取消H1 B配偶工作许可

The Trump administration is considering rolling back a rule that allows thousands of visa-holders to work in the US along with their spouses.

特朗普政府正考虑撤销允许数千名签证持有者与其配偶一起在美国工作的规定。

The Department of Homeland Security has announced it is reviewing the Obama-era rule, which allowed spouses of certain H-1B visa holders to work in the US.

国土安全部近日宣布，正在审查这项奥巴马时期的规定。该规定允许特定H-1B签证持有者的配偶在美国工作。

H1-B visas are granted to foreign workers with a graduate-level education or above, who come to the US to work in specialty occupations like finance or engineering.

受过研究生及以上教育，赴美从事金融或工程等特定岗位工作的外籍劳工均可被授予H1-B签证。

The 2015 rule allows the spouses of H-1B visa holders who are seeking Green Card status to work in the country as well, under special H-4 visas.

这一2015年的规定，在特殊的H-4签证制度下，允许寻求绿卡身份的H1-B签证持有者的配偶也可以在该国工作。

As part of a broader crackdown on legal and illegal immigration, the Trump administration is considering revoking that rule in 2018.

作为加大对合法及非法移民打击力度的一部分，特朗普政府正考虑于2018年废除这项规定。

A brief memo from the Department of Homeland Security said that it is was reviewing the rule in light of Trump's "Buy American and Hire American" executive order.

国土安全部的一份简要备忘录称，正根据特朗普“买美国货、雇美国人”的行政命令对这项规定进行审查。
