Anyone recently got H-1B → H-4 COS + H-4 EAD (standalone, no Premium Processing)? Timeline?
I’m trying to get a sense of recent timelines for a standalone H-1B → H-4 COS (first time) + H-4 EAD concurrent filing.
I’m not referring to cases where the H-4/H-4 EAD was bundled with the spouse’s H-1B extension or transfer under Premium Processing, which usually have lesser wait time.
My case is:
H-1B → H-4 COS + H-4 EAD filed concurrently
Filed separately (not bundled with my spouse’s H-1B extension/transfer), so Premium Processing wasn’t an option.
Currently about to 4 months since my Receipt Date (RD) and still waiting.
If you’ve gone through a similar standalone H-1B → H-4 COS + H-4 EAD process recently:
How long did it take to receive your H-4 approval and EAD?
Which service center processed your case as per notice of receipt?
What was your filing month and approval timeline?
I am trying to understand what the current wait times look like for similar cases. Thanks!
