Which of the following country has retained H-1B visa rule that gives work permit to spouses of Indians living in that country?
A
US
B
UK
C
Canada
D
Australia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The H-1B is a visa in the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H) that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.

Detailed explanation-2: -The spouses of H-1B visa holders tend to be highly educated, many of them in STEM fields. As per the study, allowing such H-1B visa holders to work would help recruit and retain skilled workers and increase the already-considerable economic benefits of the H-1B visa category.

Detailed explanation-3: -H-1B visas are especially prevalent in the STEM field (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) because of the high number of qualified foreign workers often found in STEM occupations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spouses of H-1B visa holders can work or start a business in the US provided their spouse’s H1B visa is valid. H-4 visa holders looking to take up paid employment must first apply for an employment authorization document (EAD) to allow them to work in the US.
