The Obama administration, looking to make adjustments to the nation's immigration system while broader legislation is stalled in Congress, announced plans Tuesday to allow the spouses of some highly skilled temporary immigrants to work in the United States.

...

The proposals address visa rules that have long caused difficulties for the spouses of skilled immigrants, mainly from China, India and the Philippines, who are working here on temporary visas known as H-1B. The spouses, mainly wives, often have skills and education, too, but are not authorized to work in the United States, causing their careers to languish.

High-tech employers welcomed the plans.

...

The announcement drew criticism from several sides in the immigration debate. Some immigration lawyers and immigrant advocates said the proposals were too narrow. Republicans on Capitol Hill said the opposite, that they were a new example of executive overreach by President Barack Obama.
