My wife's H1B is pending due to my H1B extension is pending

[nazeem.khan]

Hello,

 

  I am in need of your inputs on my case. I have applied for my wife's H1B this year and she got selected from the lottery. Last month, we got the RFE for her case and in the RFE they requested my valid H1B status. Whereas, my H1B extension is pending (filed in June 2013) and it done as non-priority basis.

 

When I spoke to my attorney about my H1-B status and expediting it, he suggested that sending my H1B receipt notice to USCIS as reply for the RFE would be enough. Whereas, my wife's attorney suggested to expedite my H1B extension case, to get the approval and send that as part of the RFE response for my wife's H1B.

 

I am too clear on how to proceed with this type of case. I am not too sure, whether I need to expedite my case or not? Please guide me.

Both are good options. How important is your wife's H1B to both of you? Best would be to do premium processing of your extension (you could pay), get approval and send a copy of it to reply your wife's RFE.

what do you mean by YOU applied for your wife's H1B? Do you have a company of your own?

Is it necessary to be rude knowing full well that the OP is translating from his native Language in his mind? The OP's wife could always get a H1 petition approved for CP.
