I want to file an H4 + EAD CoS with my spouse’s H1B application in premium processing. I am working on F1 OPT. Is there any way of avoiding an employment gap?
The only way is to file for H4+EAD and keep calling USCIS and state that u will have severe financial trouble and job loss.They may do it if you keep asking on a day to day basis.But not guaranteed.
I know of instances where USCIS did H-1B + H4 + H4-EAD concurrently with premium processing within 15 days. But it was in March this year. Not sure if they’ll still do it.
Has your spouse been on h1b for more than 6 years and has a pending perm application?
Yes
Why bother then? Trump will revoke h4 work visa on Jan 1
