H-4 EAD Pending After RFE Response – Concurrent H-1B/H-4 Filing
H-1B (I-129), H-4 (I-539), and H-4 EAD (I-765) were filed concurrently on April 1, 2026.
The H-1B and H-4 were approved under premium processing on April 15, 2026. However, the H-4 EAD at the Texas Service Center is still pending. USCIS received the RFE response for the EAD on April 30, 2026, and there have been no updates since then.
Has anyone with a similar timeline at the Texas Service Center received their H-4 EAD approval? How long did it take after the RFE response was received?
Thank you!
Based on being an H-4 spouse of an H-1B nonimmigrant (filed with I-539 H4)
