Discuss alleyus2000's H4 EAD USCIS Case

was it with PP? when was the biometrics done?

Nilisha24 Was your a stand alone appication?

This application is for my wife. Applied it with my H-1B extension in regular processing. Changed it to premium processing after her biometrics was done on June 14th. My attorney suggested that strategy to see if it can expedite her review. I received my H-1b extension approval on June 26th, my wife's application is still pending.

My application has the same timeline . Was bundled with H1b and H4 in premium processing.

@puja exactly like yours. H1+H4+EAD - PP.

@nilisha what is your receipt date?

May 13

Thanks Mine is May 21, let me know (here on trackitt I mean) if you get an update

sure. will do. do you currently hold an EAD? I mean is your EAD application new or would go under renewal?

I have applied for a renewal . My EAD is expiring in first week of Aug . I will loose my job if I dont get my EAD before that.What about you ?is it a renewal or new application?

you can apply before 4 months right? why did you apply in May end then when it was possible in April first wk?

Mine is renewal too. Went with H1 transfer bundle.

Okay, My attorney delayed it

I see. lets keep our fingers crossed!

And nobody expected there would be delay in premium processing. We all go to know now that there is no PP for H4 and H4 Ead after the bio metrics was introduced.

Thanks

What does your case status display on the uscis page for h4 ?

Fingerprints reviewed on June 24

any update on your case?

No update.. :(

I see many cases filed in June for standalone EAD being approved already. I guess since mine is with the H4 COS, it is taking a while.

Yeah, June cases are for standalone EAD.

I saw another a May 24 case getting approved, your application is in the same series and I think you should get approval soon. My wife's application also has similar timeline. We filed on May 24 and received on May 28

oh okay.. good luck to us both! Let me know if you hear anything on your case.

@alleyus2000 Just got the email notifying new card is being produced for my wife

Great. Congratulations @hs1623! Was your wife's application change of status to H4 + H4 EAD or was she already on H4 and this was a renewal? My receipt number sequence is WAC19208512XX, do you mind telling me your sequence except for the last 2 numbers? Thanks much!

We filed H1 ext + H4 Ext (already on h4) and EAD renewal in pp. 517

Got it. Thanks. Ours was change of status to H4 + H4 EAD so not sure if that is processed on a different timeline than a renewal application.

I think you are in the same situation. There are only 2 scenarios

1. Does H4 need to be processed (i.e. new, renewal or extension, or change from another status to H4) along with EAD?

2. Or only EAD needs to be processed i.e. H4 is already approved. This scenario is getting processed faster.

We did biometrics on June 13th and you guys did a day later. Maybe that's the difference or maybe the adjudicator working on your case is a little slower. Either way, I think you will get approval this week.

Best of luck!

Oh I see. Thanks much for the info! Fingers crossed.

@alleyus2000 I also filed on same day.my receipt notice is WAC19210***..so hoping we will get soon!

any update? did you expedite your case?

Is your case approved? Please update status

Lawyer just informed me that we received approval notices today for both I-539 and I-765. EAD should be coming in mail in couple of weeks.
