When to apply H4 Visa Extension and H4 EAD extension ?
Hi all,
I am on H1 Visa with current expiration date 02/2017. My wife H4 EAD expiration
date on EAD card is 08/2017. I am planning to extend my current H1 now.
So could you guys tell me when to file H4 visa extension and H4 EAD extension ?
Can I combine together and apply both ?
Thank you

You cannot apply for extensions outside of a 6 months window. within the window, you can apply at any time and you can apply for both together so that the dates of validity on the extensions are the same. Just be certain that you apply before the current one expires.
