H4EAD and H1 Extension

[SatishH1Extn]

Hello , 

My H1 extension is in progress at California location .  I see that the processing time for H1 Extension is about 7 months . I have also applied for H4 EAD renewal for my wife .  The H4 EAD renewal processing time is about 2 to 5 months . 

 

Is there a chance that H4 EAD Renewal / Extension can happen before H1 Extension .?

 

Thanks

Satish

No, H4 and H4 EAD will be adjudicated based on H1B extension decision.

Hello Luck2u,

If we file the H1 Extn, H4 Extn and H4 EAD in Regular, will the H4-EAD process starts after the H1 Extn decision or both H4-EAD and H1 Extn decision will be at same?

Ex: Let's say H1 is approved in 3 months from now. So H4-EAD decision also in 3 months (or) more than 3 months
