The proposal does not give a blanket approval for spouses of H1-B workers to work. It only allows spouses, for those H1-B holders who have maxed out the original 6 years on their visa and are now awaiting their turn in line for Green Cards (which for India and China is ridiculously long).
But it still is progress.
I'd hope they remove country based discrimination in EB visas. And better yet pass immigration reform sooner rather than later.
