hello
My hi expired in Dec 2003. I filed for my extension on Nov20th. Assuming they are currently processing H1 Extensions for Sept 17th and moving rather slowly,

1.what is the estimated time that I should expect my extension?
2. What are the guidelines for applying for a visa renewal at DC? If I manage to mail them my application 10 days before dec 2004 wil they re validate my visa here? or should it be 3 months before dec 2004?

3. If I upgrade my H1 processing to premium, will I have to pay an extra 1000$ for my wife's application since we sent both of our application at the same time?


Please answer the questions
Thanks
 
2. They will give you renewal if you apply a week before one year date (giving room for postal delay and missing documents)
3. I dont think H4 extensions can be converted to premium processing.

In that case having my H1 extension process as premium, will my wife's H4 extension also get processed along with my H1 (at the same time)?

Like say, if 'm applying for my H1 ext (premium) today and am getting the approval in next 20 days. Will my wife's H4 also gets approved in next 20 days if both are applied together?
 
laven,

i applied for premium processing, had to pay 1000$ for my H1, they approve H4 along with H1. UCIS has different email address and phone #'s to ask the status for premium processing cases only.

Your wife's H4 will be processed along with ur H1. My approval took 7 days with a weekend in between. Check mailed to UCIS on mar 2, website says H1 approved and mailed on 10th Mar.
