vj_chan Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 @sriniram_123 @CoolDeep I wish I knew !! My lawyer asks me not to trust the status. Looking it up indicates there is some sort of activity on the file. It has been 3 weeks since the H4 extn went to "Name was updated" Quote Link to comment
CoolDeep Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 @vj_chan It is really interesting to know that they have a status called "Name was updated " on the USCIS Case Status web portal . Anyways - please keep us posted if anything changes. Thanks Quote Link to comment

vj_chan Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Congratulations @CoolDeep .. I hope the backlog clears out soon enough for the rest of us Quote Link to comment
wissnowman Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 My h4 extension status got updated to 'Case Was Approved'. It took 2.5 months from Mar 16th for the processing of h4 ext applied along with h1 ext pp. Quote Link to comment
kewldee Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Just got the H4 and H4 EAD approval. Applied around March 17th and got the approval on June 2nd. So it took around 2 and a half months. My wife called the processing center on 5/29 (4 days ago) and the guy said it will probably take around 6 months and asked her to wait patiently as they have a mountain load of applications and the apps that came in before her app are still pending. So if anyone got the same stereotypical response over phone, please do not be disheartened. I guess that's just a cookie cutter response. Quote Link to comment
kewldee Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I my above post, my wife called the center on 5/30 and not 5/29. I remember it was on the first day of the week and forgot 5/29 was a holiday. Quote Link to comment

alokjaiswal Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi All, My H1-B Extension and H4- Extension for my wife was applied together in Premium on 03/27. My extension was approved on 04/20 and later case was updated on 05/19 that USCIS will refund the premium application fees. I am thinking maybe since it took more than 15 days to approve, they refunded the premium fees. There is no further update on H-4 extension - Last update is of March 27, 2017, case received. Since they refunded the premium fees, will H4 now be processes under normal/regular queue and would take much longer time for approval. Please suggest Quote Link to comment
Srik013 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi All, My H1B extension was filled in Nov 2016 premium processing got approved in 1 week for 1year :(, But my Wife's H4 is still even today in case received after 8 months. Mean while I applied for another extension which got approved for 2years and her 2nd H4 petition is also not approved yet. Not sure what is happening here, attorney raised service request due date is july 1st..wish us luck. Quote Link to comment

anand_rl Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi, I am in the same situation. My H1B and my dependent's H4 were filed together in May,2018. Then my company upgraded H1 to premium which got approved last week 09/17. But there is no update for H4 and even in USCIS site the status is showing invalid receipt number. Please let me know what should I do? Quote Link to comment
Bhav15 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Hi, My H1b extension was submitted in July 2018 and approved in May, 2019 after converting into premium but my wife's H4 status still in pending status. H4 was submitted along with h1 in July, 2018.... Any ideas on further steps ? do we need to wait or can we contact someone for enquiry ? Adding to that, can she travel to India without H4 approval ? what would be the scenarios while she coming back ? Thanks, Edited May 15, 2019 by Bhav15 Quote Link to comment
