Thank you, took 6+ months. I heard if you file with your H1B extension in premium processing, it may process faster as well. But I was not due for an extension.

Does it take this long because of the EAD. Wondering how long it takes if one is even for transferring to spouse’s visa as an H4 dependent without work auth.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time?
