H4 Bio-metric Appointment not Received - is this due to covid19?

USA H4
#1

I had filed for my spouse H4 extension and received a receipt notice, but didn’t get any bio-metric appointment with it.

The case was field on 11th May 2020, I did get my H1B approved and received the approval notice.

What should I do ? Call USCIS or wait for bio-metric appointment ?

USCIS Biometric centers are closed and they are not sending appointment letters until they reopen.

Hi Anil,

My h1b transfer and spouse h4 were filled in Apr 2020. I got my h1b approval, however, there are no updates on my spouse biometric appointment, when can we expect the updates from USCIS on Biometric appointment?

Also, My wife’s previous H4, H4 EAD with the last employer is valid till Apr 2021.
When can I submit her H4 EAD renewal application?
