Registered Users (C)
Since my attorney asked for $1000 for H4 extension, doing it on my own.

This forum is of great help for people like me. Thank you for everyone for their valuable information.

I got 2 questions (applying for h4 extension based on spouse's approved H1B)

part4 in form 539

a. Are you or any other person included on the application, an applicant for an immigrant visa? yes no

b. Has an immigrant petition ever been filed for you or for any other person included in this application? yes no

c. Has a Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, ever been filed by you or by any other person included in this application? yes no



I'm in final stage of GC. Should I need to say "YES" for a, b and c above. What additional information I have to give in the separate sheet (it says if you answer yes to any question, explain on separate sheet of paper)


2. In Part I, should I need to fill up A# column?


Thank you in advance,

Write in the column please read SHEET A and write on that sheet that for my husband I-140 or I-485 has been filed

If your wife has applied I-485 and got I-485 filing receipt check that I-485 filing receipt at left side it has A#, if she has not applied I-485 then she does not have A# and write ”none”
*** She should sign the form I-539 and on separate sheet she should also write that my husband XYZ is working with company ABCD and gets XXXXX amount annually, better if you attach your employer letter also and it should have your job tile Skills and salary and request to USCIS to extend H4 your spouse ABCD till your H1. you need to attach
Form I-539, USCIS fees$ 140, copy of her passport pages, copy of her valid I-94 (front and back) copy of YOUR H1b approval notice and copy of YOUR I-94 (front and back) and extension date on I-539 should be asked till the date of your H1 expiry date.
Write on the cover letter in bold FORM I-539 for H4 Extension and then in the cover letter write the documents attached in order(keep the check at TOP)
your wife should sign the cover letter, she should write her name address and date

while sending it to USCIS write out side the envelope in big bold letters: Form I-539 for H4 status extension
and send by Fedex or certified mail
*** before sending make the copy and keep the copy of complete package with you.
 
Thankyou so much.

Ginnu,

Thankyou so much for the info.

1. For me I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for both of us. In the explanation to Part 4 (c), should my wife need to mention about my 140 approval as well I-485 details for both me and her?

2. For me H1B was approved by Vermont SC, since my company is from the area under VSC. But We are living in NSC area. So Where should I file the H4 extention form, VSC or NSC?


Once again thanks for the valuable info.
