Hey guys, Is H4 EAD renewal or extension eligible for premium processing? Asking as the current wait times on renewal are too high (causing loss of jobs and a lot of stress to the family) and my spouse's renewal will be coming up soon so really concerned over this. I know of the long wait times (going up till almost a year) and also aware of the talks of bill making H4 EAD renewal and L2 extension eligible for premium processing but not sure if it passes and is all announced. Please share the latest on this and any good sources on this matter on how can I keep myself updates (not much in news recently). Thanks!!! #h4ead #h4eadprocessingtime #h4visa #premiumprocessing #workvisa #immigration
USCIS suppose to announce an update by last month but no info yet :(
Oh that's sad to hear...hope something comes out soon. By USCIS you mean we are just waiting on USCIS announcement? There is no bill or law needs to be changed? Or introduced?
USCIS already announced in their agenda that they want to enable EAD premium processing by September. But they haven't announced any details yet.
No one knows when USCIS will get their head out of their racist ass and implement premium processing (it was approved by Congress last year). These morons are deliberate in not implementing this and it’s anyone’s guess on when they’ll do it. On the positive side, processing times have gone down recently and I’ve seen stand alone EADs (H4) getting approved in 4-5 months now vs 1 year+ wait times from 2020.
Oh this is great to hear! Thanks for your reassuring comment! :)
Welcome to the party! Thousands have lost jobs because of the processing times since 2020. Can’t do much other than go through it. It’s better now. Good luck!
Thanks! Hope it only gets better and things move past the blocker on the premium processing as well
Got my spouse's EAD approval in 5 months. I think USCIS is being selective in it's timely adjudication.
Interesting. So is it being selective randomly? Or based on some circumstancial scenarios?
Stand-alone EAD or COS + EAD?
Hi OP, I can confirm that quite a few folks at Microsoft got EAD around 6-7 months. Things r definitely improving . Hopefully the trend can keep up
>>Is H4 EAD renewal or extension eligible for premium processing? Not yet.
Is it expected to happen anytime soon? Any information to share on this please? Thanks
