Hi,

 

I got my PERM approved yesterday and I am waiting for further information from my employer's attorney about filing I140.

 

I am on my 6th year on my H1B which I have till Nov 2016.

 

I went over the link and it says in the first bullet, that I can file H4 EAD once I have approved I140. But,I wanted to get a confirmation on my 3rd question below, as one of my told that I have to wait until 6th year or I should have an extension through approved I140 and 180 days should have crossed.

I have few questions:

 

1. How much do I have to pay for filing I140 in premium?

2. How many days it take to get the I140 approved?

3. Once the I140 is approved, can I file H4 EAD for my spouse? or, I have to wait for sometime until I finish my 6 years on H1 to file H4 EAD for my spouse?

 

Please advise.
