'certain' in this context means: those H1B holders who have completed 6 years of the original visa term. They are compelled to either wait and languish in line, or go back home where their spouse can work.

Edit: Not sure why I got downvoted. I was just paraphrasing the reasons given in the proposal. Its not an opinion. Don't shoot the messenger. See http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=20131...



Where do you see that? If that is the case then it helps only those who applied for permanent residency late in their 6 year H1-B term hence they don't have EAD for their spouse through green card application but can extend their H1-B status indefinitely.


Here is the link to the original proposal: http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=20121...
