Standalone H4 EAD Pending 17+ Months (Filed Jan 2025)

Feb 2024 - As my spouse got I-94 till passport expiry date, Applied only H4 extension.

Jun 2024 - My spouse H4 got approved.

Jan 2025 - Filed H4-EAD renewal as my spouse H4-EAD expires on June 2025. (Standalone, filed separately from H4 extension)

H4-EAD renewal Current Status in May 2026: Still pending after 17+ months.

Actions Taken: Submitted case inquiries in Feb 2026 & April 2026, Dailed USCIS Customer Care, Live-chat. No updates/responses.

I would appreciate any experiences or suggestions from those who have faced similar "unbundled" filing delays. Thank you.
