H4 Extension when another H4 application is in progress with USCIS


Recommended Posts

Hello,

We have applied H1 and H4 applications to USCIS two months back and i got my H1 application approved. However my H1 got approved for only three months.

Our company is planning to apply my H1B again for extension of 3 years, But currently the H4 applications are pending with USCIS. Can i apply H4 with my new H1 applications when previously applied H4 extensions are in-progress(in received status) with USCIS.

Here is the question i see on form i539: 

In Part3. Processing Information 

3.a. Is this application based on a separate petition or application to provide your spouse, child, or parent an extension or change of status?

        Yes, filed with this Form I-539

        No

        Yes, filed previously and pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

3.b. If pending with USCIS, provide Receipt Number


For  the above question on 3.a. Do I need to select both Yes check boxes( 1. Yes, filed with this Form I-539, 2.Yes, filed previously and pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)) and provide the previous H4 pending receipt number ?

(or) 

Select only  "Yes, filed previously and pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)." and provide the previous H4 pending receipt number.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
