Hi,
Hope you are doing great!
My currently H1 and my spouse H4 got expired on September 4, 2015 and my employer filed for an extension of stay for H1 and H4 together in Premium processing. After expiration of my visa and applying for extensions, we came to India on October 2015 for 2 months vacation while both of our H1 & H4 extensions are pending. I got an RFE for my H1 while I am in US and my employer responded to RFE and I got my H1 extension Approved on 12/04/2015, but still the H4 extension status showing as "Case Was Received". I thought USCIS will approve H4 extension as well along with H1 as both were applied together but they didn't.
I am currently in India and would like to appear for Visa stamping. Can I apply for Visa stamping for my wife (H4) as well along with my H1 approval letter Or does she need to have H4 extension approval letter to appear for Visa stamping? I am almost done with my vacation and we need to return back to USA asap after appearing for Visa interview.
What will happen to my wife's pending H4 extension If I take her to stamping with my H1 approval letter?
Your response and valuable inputs are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance!
Thanks
