H4 premium processing

[desi_bunda]

Hi

Does premium processing apply to H4 transfers or just H1B transfers? Also, can one apply for H4 transfer/ approval based on H1 transfer receipt (not approval notice) of primary applicant or does one hav eto wait till the approval notice is received?

Thanks.

Premium Processing does not apply to H4 as such.

However, if you apply for H1 under premium processing and INCLUDE the H4 petition as well in the SAME envelope and file both of them together,chances are, H4 will be approved along with the corresponding H1.

I am not sure, but I believe you can apply for H4 only on the basis of an approved H1.Even otherwise, if you apply for H4 based only on the approval notice of the H1, the H4 will have to wait till the H1 gets approved.
