The extension is pending with USCIS ?
Conversation Starter
yes
Did you submit the H4 and EAD application along with H1 extension? If yes, did you consider filing for premium processing?
They won’t even if you pay for it yourself?
Wouldn’t the rule of automatic 540 day EAD extension apply in this case ? Sorry am trying to understand impact as well because my visa up for renewal as well alongside spouse’s H4, EAD
Conversation Starter
Only if your H4 is valid apparently. If it H4 expires, EAD doesn't have an automatic trigger extension.
Can you elaborate OP ? My H4 plus EAD was filed 6+ months ago as well but I’m in status as it got filed. I can’t work though but better than leaving the country .

that's true, legal to stay. not legal to work. the second part is a bigger burn. spouse need to resign.
Conversation Starter
Yeah i thought for EAD as long as you file - you get grace period for 540 days

Oh i did not know that… crap! I will be in a similar boat soon then…
OP - all the best.
OP, what's your spouse's profession? Have they sufficiently progressed in their careers to make am O1 case? Might be ambitious but necessity mother of invention
