H1B prem process-H4 and H4 EAD time lines

[harsha_columbus]

Hello,

On 6/182019 I have filed my H1B extension, spouse H4 extension and H4EAD extensions all together.

Spouse finger print completed on 7/12

H1B converted to premium process on 7/26

H1b approved on 7/29.

Currently H4 application status showing as "Fingerprint Review Was Completed" & H4EAD application status as "Case Was Received".

Questions

1) How much time it may take further more for H4 to approve.

2) Whether H4EAD will also get approved along with H4 or will it take additional time after H4 approval?

3) My spouse H4EAD is expiring in last week of September, if she do not receive EAD before that she will lose her job. Is there any way we can speed up the process to get the EAD before that?

Any inputs/opinion/reply to above is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sri

1. You can check the timeline on USCIS website. You can check based on the first 3 letters of your receipt number.

2. Never know. It all depends on how the officer handles the case.

3. No way to speed up the process.
