EAD automatic extension query

USA
1

Hello,

I’ve applied for H1, H4 and EAD extensions via premium processing last week.
H1/H4 extensions got approved already and EAD is pending for approval.

H1/H4/EAD expiry date - 8/14/2025; H1/H4 got extended until 5/4/2028.

My attorney states that my spouse cannot continue her work after 8/14/2025 even though H4 is approved since EAD was applied when H4 was only valid until 8/14/2025. I’d like to confirm if this is true and if I need to apply for EAD again with the new H1/H4 validity.

Thank you!

As far as I know, you are eligible for EAD auto extension with extended H4 i94.
No issues.

I think you are eligble for 540 days of auto extension as i94 date has been extended when H4 was approved and you filed EAD extension before current EAD expiry.
