An overwhelming 93% of the total work authorizations via H-4 visa were received by the Indians as per the latest report of the US Congress on Spouse Visa. Around 1/5th of the H-4 Visa holders who received the work authorization reside in California.

Out of the total H-4 Visa Authorizations Approved, 93% were received by women and men received 7% of these. These statistics have been revealed by autonomous Congressional Research Service of the US Congress. This agency prepares regular reports on issues that are of interest to the lawmakers in the US, as quoted by the Times of India.

Individuals born in India received 93% of the approved applications for H-4 Visa employment. On the other hand, 5% of the approvals for employment authorization were received by Chinese. People from rest of the nations in the world together received remaining 2% of the applications that were approved.
