It makes an assumption that 25% approximately end up working. Forgot to specify that. Will fix it. thanks

you mean they become eligible only after 3 months?

That's right H4 EAD is a benefit of green card process and not just the H1b itself. However, L2 EAD is purely based on L1 and has no bearing on the GC process.

But, the whole employment visas have to be reformed as a whole. For example, tightening H1b means, companies can start using L1 or Eb1c more. These work rounds are already being taken advantage of.

That's an advantage for employers. Imagine you are bringing a employee who you know will not leave. That leads to lots of possibilities

H4 dependents can only work after the primaries's green card process reached certain stage which may take few years. But with L1, spouse can start work from day 1
