anynemous Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello Friends, Have a question on I-140 - H1 B 3 years extension. Currently me and my wife are on H1B visa. My daughter is my dependent. Once my I-140 is approved then I would get 3 years extension for me and my daughter. Here my question is: Can my wife also gets an 3 years extension based on my I-140 approval? or still she will continue with her H1? Please advice me on the same. Thanks. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 She cannot get extensions beyond the 6 years. But she may be helped by the proposal for EAD for H4 people under certain circumstances. Link to comment

JoeF Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 H1 extensions past 6 years are ONLY for the primary GC applicant. Your spouse may look into H4 and EAD once that is enabled on May 26. Link to comment
