I recently received approval for my I140 a few days ago. My H1 and H4 extension applications have been filed, and the current status indicates that they are “actively being reviewed by the USCIS” for the past 90 days under regular processing. Given the recent approval of my I140, I am looking to apply for an H4 EAD. Typically, a standalone H4 EAD application can take approximately 9 to 12 months for processing. However, if filed together with the H1 and H4 extensions, it usually takes fewer days. Since my H1 and H4 extension applications are already under review by the USCIS, I am wondering if there is a way for me to submit the H4 EAD application now to have it considered as part of the H1 & H4 extension?
No. Your H4 EAD will be considered separately filed now.
Filing all 3 in same package with H1B in premium is when they approve all 3 together.
Thanks, Anil for the quick response, so now there is no way for me to tag the i765 to the H1 and H4 to be considered filed together?
