Spouses of people who are working in America on a H1-B visa (the most common visa that tech people work on) are now allowed to work themselves.


Not quite. Spouses of people who are working in America on a H1-B visa and have applied for a green card or extended their visa are allowed to work themselves. That is a much smaller pool than people on H-1B visas.


Still not quite, because they are not automatically allowed to work. They have to request employment authorization and who knows what other criteria may be imposed at that time.


AFAIK obtaining an EAD is quite straightforward.
