Hi guys, really appreciate your advice:
- Is there any chance that my current H4 and H4 EAD applications can still be processed, despite my international travel?
- If not, what immediate steps should I take to obtain my H4 status and EAD as quickly as possible? The EAD is critical to me.
- Current Status: H1B status with a valid H1B visa stamp.
- Recent Filing: We recently filed concurrent H4 + H4 EAD + my husband's H1B extension under premium processing.
- Timeline of Events:
- 11/19/2024: USCIS issued receipt notices for all three applications.
- 11/29/2024–12/2/2024: I traveled internationally to Canada for three days.
- 12/6/2024: My husband’s H1B extension was approved.
- My H4 and H4 EAD applications remain in "Case Was Received" status.
- 12/17/2024: I inquired with the premium processing center and received a response indicating that my H4 and EAD cases are pending security checks.
- The same day, I realized that leaving the U.S. while a Change of Status (COS) application is pending may result in the application being considered abandoned and denied.
- Is there any chance that my current H4 and H4 EAD applications can still be processed, despite my international travel?
