I94 Revalidation for H4 EAD Auto Extension

Thanks Much ! I see it now . Did you all file the I-765 again with new I94 ? In my case , it was a concurrent filing with h1b + h4 + h4 ead. H4 and H4 ead are still pending

Hello Sir,

Looking for some advise/Opinions on below queries related to I94 Revalidation:

Current Scenario -
1) I am currently working on H4 EAD.
2) H4 Visa and EAD both are expiring on Jan'2025
3) My Stamped H4 Visa on Passport is also expiring on Jan'2025
4) Applied for extension in Oct'2024 and currently in Pending status.
5) My Spouse H1B recently approved until 2027.

Queries:
Based on the current waiting time, i am not expecting my approval by Jan'2025 and I am thinking to go to Mexico for I94 Revalidation to extend my I94 based on approved spouse H1B (I797 approval notice).
1) Am i eligible for I94 automatic re-validation, since I have valid stamped Visa until Jan'2025? and one of the eligibility criteria for revalidation is to have expired stamped Visa.
2) If I travel outside US (To Mexico), will it impact my pending H4 and EAD applications? Do I need to reapply both the applications?

Appreciate your suggestions here. Thank You!!

Hi @ankitga, did you file a new h4 EAD or the original pending one wasn’t abandoned and you were good with it with a new i94 ?

You can leave and re-enter on the basis of your valid H4 visa, and present your spouse's latest H1b I-94, to be admitted until the same date on your I-94. This isn't Automatic Revalidation, but a regular entry. Your H4 Extension of Stay application will be automatically abandoned when you leave the US (since it no longer matters if it is approved or denied). Your EAD application should not be affected, and once you re-enter, you should be able to work on automatic extension of work authorization for pending H4 EAD reneal with a valid I-94.

@newacct , are you sure that a new h4 EAD filing is not required (old one won’t get abandoned)?
 
Qq: For H4 I94 extension by return trip to Mexico, does H1B needs to accompany H4? Or H4 can alone travel with H1B approval notice copy?
TIA
 
Can someone confirm whether h1 needs to accompany h4 to cross the border to get i94 automatic revalidated? Has anyone got i94 arv recently?
