A question has arisen regarding the expiration dates of H4 Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) when transitioning from an old H4 status to a new one. An applicant, who submitted their H4 EAD application based on an old H4 status last year, is now preparing to file for an H1B and H4 extension with premium processing. The concern is whether the EAD expiration will align with the old H4 or the newly approved H4 extension.
Key Details:
- The H4 EAD application (I-765) was submitted in June 2022 and is currently pending.
- The EAD application is based on the old H4 status.
- The applicant plans to file for H1B and H4 extension with premium processing, which may lead to quick approval of the H4 extension.
- There is uncertainty whether the EAD will reflect the expiration date of the new H4 if it is approved after the EAD.
This situation highlights the complexities faced by H4 EAD applicants and the need for clarity regarding the impact of H4 extensions on pending EAD applications. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
