H1 approved in PP. Waiting for H4 Extensions

[dinesh_hyd]

My H1B extension was applied and approved under premium processing in July-2011.

Along with my H1B my employer applied for H4(I539 Extension of Stay) for my spouse and daughter. Both applications were sent to USCIS well before the i-94 expiry dates.

Unfortunately the H4(EOS) application was sent back as it was sent with incorrect amount on the cheque.

I immediately mailed back the H4(I539 Extension of Stay) application back with the correct fee and received the receipt from USCIS.

My question is since my initial application(H1B and H4) was applied under premium processing shouldn't USCIS adjudicated H4(Extension of Stay) application by now or USCIS considered H4 application as a stand alone application because of wrong fee paid initially?

Does the Premium Processing processing fee applicable to only H1 or is it applicable to both H1 and H4 applications?

PP involves a Lawyer. Did you send the proper amount through the Lawyer? If not ask the Lawyers Office to help. The H1 and H4 should have been decided at the same time.
