My husband is on H1B. My H4 and EAD were filed 2 months ago. His H1B extension is being filed by his company in a month. It looks like the H1B extension will be applied before there is a decision on the H4 and EAD that we had applied for. Should we apply for an H4 and EAD again with the H1B extension, or is there any way to convert the existing H4 and EAD application into the upcoming H1B extension?
I suggest to apply H4 and EAD again to have better chances of getting longer approval based on H1B extension.
