Our office recently filed two applications: one is an I-539 Application for Change of Status to from H-1B to H-4 and the other is an I-765 Application for Employment Authorization Document for an H-4 holder. Both were approved within two weeks. (See Below) This noted a new trend in USCIS’s adjudication for cases related to H-1B dependents.
For the last two years, we saw a lot of delays in USCIS’s adjudication of this two categories of cases, which is beyond the USCIS’s posted processing time, i.e., 6 months for the I-539 Application and 3 months for the I-765 Application.
