H4/H4 EAD extension

[gupta83]

My H1 is expiring on Jun 2020 and I have my I140 approved. My company is filing extension in this week.

1. Is it necessary to have H4 extension filed to get H4 EAD extension done?

2. Is it mandatory to get H4 extension applied or H1 extension will automatically get their extension?

3. Do we need to wait for H4 extension to be approved for H4 EAD Processing?

4. If I make H1 extension through premium process will H4 extension also be done in the premium timeframe or will it take more time?

My wife has found a job and company wants to get an clarity if she can get the extension done before the current EAD expiry date with +15days from the expiry time.

1. Yes

2. I539 will need to be filed with your H1 to extend H4.

3. No, you can file H1, H4, H4-EAD all at same time when filing for H1 extension.

4. H4 will take 5-6 months and same with EAD. Premium is only for H1.
