[Mumu]

Its been more than 4 months since the application for H4 EAD been submitted, received the application receipt as well but no further progress.

Mumu:

 

Did you just apply for the H4 EAD, or was there a concurrent H4 change-of-status filed with it? Processing time for an EAD is normally 60-90 days, but the change of status would take much longer, generally. 4 months is outside normal processing times for a stand-alone EAD.

I have applied for H4 EAD only. Yesterday i have raised a service request with USCIS and waiting for response.

got reply from USCIS about Service request and it says it might take another 60 days for a decision. Please let me know is there any way to expedite the process as it's outside normal processing time. Thank you.
