Anyone Still Waiting for H-4 Extension Approval Filed in October 2025?

I’m currently waiting for approval of dependents H-4 extension (Form I-539).

  • Receipt #: WAC269000XXXX
  • Receipt date: October 3, 2025

According to the USCIS processing times page, H-4 extension applications are taking around 8 months to process. I'm wondering if others who filed around the same time are experiencing similar delays, as the wait has been quite frustrating.

My H-1B extension was filed under premium processing and was approved within two weeks. However, my attorney appears to have filed dependents H-4 extension as a standalone application rather than concurrently with the H-1B, and I’m not sure why.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? If so, how long did your H-4 extension take to get approved?
