    How Long Does it Take to Get H4 EAD Approval
    Hi,

    My 6th year H-1B visa expires on January 5,2015.I just got to know from my employer that my PERM has been approved!!! Considering my I-140 and H-1B extension gets filed and approved by December 20,2015, when can I apply for my wife's H-4 EAD?She is traveling to India on December 7,2015. I can delay her travel to India by 1 month if we can get her H4 EAD approved by January 10,2016 based on my approved I-140. Is it possible to get H-4 EAD approval within 1 month of receiving H-1B and hence the H-4 extension?

    If you are in H1B status, you can apply for H4 EAD for your spouse when she seeks her H4 visa or at any time afterward. The form I-765 should be processed within 90 days of its receipt.

    Thanks for your response, Sir. I am hoping to get my and my wife's H-4 extension via premium processing after December 15,2015. But at that time, she won't be here in the U.S.A. She is trvalleing to India from December 7,2015-March 20,2016. Can I still apply for her EAD after December 15,2015 even when she is not in the U.S.A?

    Again, if you are in H1B status, you can apply for H4 EAD for your spouse when she seeks her H4 visa or at any time afterward.

    Thanks for your response, Sir. Let say I delay my wife's travel and instead of December 7, she goes to India on January 5,2016. In that case, if I apply for her H-4 EAD after getting both mine and her H-4 visa extnsion approval by December 15,2015 then in that case, can she travel to India after I file her FORM I-539 and I-765? Or does her I-765 nd I-539 have to absolutely get approved before she can step out of U.S.A for travel?
