Hello Anil,
I have a question about the H4 and H4-EAD extension while already current H4 EAD is pending
Here is my case:
H1B: I got my H1 approved via premium processing and valid till 08/21/2028.
H4(pending filing): My wife’s current I-94 expires on 8/21/2025 and we are yet to file for an extension.
H4 EAD(Filed and pending): The current EAD card expired on 11/28/2024 so we have filed an extension and received I-797c on July11th 2024 and the current status still shows “Case was Received”, so as per Automatic extension rule i believe her H4 EAD got extended till 08/21/2025. (My wife currently not working and trying for the jobs so we are not very concerned with the H4 EAD expiry date at this point)
Hence I am planning to apply H4 and H4 EAD together and I assume there will not be an issue if I apply H4 EAD again with already current pending H4 EAD?
Or is it recommended to apply for H4 EAD(as a stand alone application) after i receive the H4 approval with new I-94.?
Could you please advise?
Thanks,
Maruthi
