I would highly recommend you pay for it

Is your priority date current? That would make sense, either way I still recommend

Which firm is that?

Deloitte

application already submitted in regular processing now. ☹️
Texas center wait times are 3.5-6months. Guess I'll just have to wait

The lawyers already submitted the petition under regular processing. USCIS webpage says 3.5-6 months is current wait time

Can I still pay for premium processing?

I think you can upgrade, that shouldn’t be an issue

You’ll just need your immigration team to submit an additional form with the check

Thanks. I just sent my lawyers an email. Let's see. I think it's worth the money.

Go PP

I didn’t do premium and my priority date was current.... FML

My H1-B expires on April 2022. My perm is currently in process and they are applying for H1B extension and H4 visa extension for my spouse. The immigration team said that they can apply for an H4 ead as well. Is that possible? My H1b visa started April 2016 on i-94 and and is stamped as start date April 2016. I have only been physically in the US for 5 years and 2 months. I am confused on how can they still file for an EAD? Am I missing something?

A week following my second interview, I checked in with the hiring manager for any updates, and they responded by saying the recruiting coordinator will follow up with me. Do you see think this usually means good news? Or, why might the hiring manager be waiting to have the recruiter deliver the bad/good news?
