EAD renewal post I-94 expiry

[happytohelp]

Hi Team,

My Spouse's H1-B extension and my H4 extension is pending with USCIS. Currently, our I-94 is expired . I had H4-EAD in the past and I wanted to renew it. Can we apply that now while extension is pending with USCIS?

If we can, do I need to provide H1-B /H4 Extension receipts and any additional documentation?

You should be able to. Why did you not file the EAD extension with the H4 extension?

Spouse's employer wasn't ready to do so, hence we couldn't file altogether.

Also, my H1-b petition that was picked up in lottery this year has an RFE. So, whichever works first is good for me.
