Did any one do the H1B and H4 Renewal or Extension simultaneously?

I am about to do my first renewal.
Please give me more info. Like what are all the docs required?

Can we file I-129, I-539 together? What is the process?

Thanks,
PC.
 
This is for one person or multiple person.

You can file both petitions together in one single package. If you go for premium processing (costs extra $1000), both petitions can be adjudicated within 15 calendar days. With regular processing too, it will be lot more time consuming than premium processing, but there is a good likelihood that both petitions are adjudicated at the same time. However, please do not get surprised if H-1B is reviewed first, followed by H-4 in regular processing cases.

Also, you have to file both H-1B and H-4 petitions simultaneously. Many people in the past have suffered not knowing the simple fact that when H-1B extension is being applied, H-4 should also be applied. This is a famous problem and you will find it in many forums.
