H4 and H4 EAD extension options while applications are pending approval

Hello,

My H4 and H4 EAD renewal applications are currently pending with USCIS, and both are set to expire in September 2025. I would like to understand what options are available for me to continue my employment while these applications are being processed.

Additionally, I would appreciate your input on whether it is still advisable to send my updated H4 I-94 to USCIS after my H4 EAD expires (i.e., after September 2025) if I can’t travel to India or cross border before September.

Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
