I am my wife are working on H1B. And I am planning to switch jobs this month. I want my wife to become dependent and work on H4 EAD. When my new employer files H1B (in premium processing) for me along with H4 EAD for my wife, Will my wife get H4 + EAD as soon as my H1B is approved within 15 days (i.e. she can work elsewhere)? #h1b #h4ead #h4eadprocessingtime #workvisa
No, the wait time is 12+ months last I checked.
H1B and H4 (and by extension H4 EAD) processing have been decoupled even for premium processing cases. So even if H1B is processed in 15 days, H4 will take whatever is the current processing time before you get the card.
Why you want your move to H4?
