Here is my situation. I just got my h-1b approval a couple of weeks ago with a premium process. At that time my employer didn't allow me to file my wife's i-539 along with my i-129 petition, so I e-filed her i-539 application on July 1 (using my receipt number) and sent additional documents on July 3.
My question is whether my wife can maintain her legal status while we are waiting for the result. We received her receipt number about two weeks ago. My OPT expires in the middle of August, and I wonder whether I have to use the premium process before my wife loses her legal stay. Is there anyone who have had the similar experience? I really appreciate your comments.
