H4 EAD just got approved, the status shows " New Card Is Being Produced"
On March 11, 2022, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number EAC22041XXXXX", and will mail it to the address you gave us.

but I-539 (H4 Extension) still shows “Case Received”. Both H4/H4EAD extensions were filed with H1B Extension in Nov 2021 . H1B got approved in 2 weeks .

Any idea how long it takes for H4 to get approved after H4 EAD?

You should soon see H4 approval too as EAD can’t be approved without H4 being approved first or togather.
