Hi Respected Members,
We have received an H-4 RFE. The USCIS asks for a reason why the extension of status was not filed timely and need your valuable suggestions. Here is the scenario-
My H1 was approved till 28th Nov 2013 and my employer filed my extension in August. At that time my spouse was not in USA and therefore as per employer suggestion H4 extension was not filed. My spouse came back on 23rd November along with my 2 year old baby and everyone got "flu" and it took us almost 2-3 weeks to recover and I completely forgot to file her H4 extension which was due on 8th December ( 23rd November + 2 weeks grace time). By the time we realized it was already late and finally My employer filed H4 extension on 31st December but we have received RFE for explanation of delay in filing.
Please suggest and what could be worst scenario. Just an FYI My H1 is approved till 2016 and I am also in process to file I-140.
Regards,
Jay
