Vips1982 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 So, we upgraded long pending H1B extension to PP in March 2nd week and got approval in March 3rd week in a week. But H4 is still pending for approval....Attorney says that USCIS is not considering H4s under PP due to workload. Anyone else in same boat ? Link to comment
jyo1 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm in the same situation - Premium request for long pending H1 & H4 was filed on 21 Mar. H1 got approved by 29 Mar.. H4 still shows 'Case was received'. Link to comment
AlienDesi Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hi, I have filed my H1 extension along with H4 and H4 EAD for my wife on March 23 2017. Data entry done by USCIS on 29 March 2017. H1 Approved on April 5 2017. Waiting for H4 and H4 EAD approval. As far as i know, H4 as is doesn't have PP, If filed along with H1 USCIS might consider it. Link to comment
Vips1982 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 In such scenario where H4 is pending and H1B is approved, Does anyone know if H4 dependent can leave US and go for stamping based on Spouse's H1B approval notice ? Link to comment

Exactly 2 weeks after my H1B was approved. Link to comment

Any one in same sitaution? Did you get H4 copy with I-94. Check with your employer attorney. They may have requested additional copy of I797 A as their routine process. I am still waiting for my wife's H4 copy with I-94 but my employer attorney got it already 2 weeks back, I am asking them to mail it to me so I can use it for Driving license renewal and for visa stamping. I think (again, my opinion), they are issuing H4 Copy with I-94 only once and then for 2nd copy for self or attorney, it's taking more time to process. In my case, Employer attorney got it within 2-3 days of approval, while I am waiting for no reason. Link to comment
