My current H1B and dependent H4 visa validity is till Dec-15.
In Aug-15 I transferred my H1B from employer A to employer B in premium processing. While submitting H1B transfer request employer B submitted both transfer and extension request for H1B and H4 petitions. After submitting the case to uscis I got 2 different receipt notice one for H1B and second one for H4 extension; and within 14 days I got approval notice for only my H1B transfer with extended I-94 date (Jul-17) but I haven't received any approval notice for H4 extension.
When I check case status of H4 extension it still shows in received status. After calling to USCIS service center they said I have wait for H4 extension approval as there current processing timeframe says May-2015. But when I check with my colleagues and friends who transferred there H1B visa, they got approval notice for both H1B and H4 together.
So Is this common while submitting H1B and H4 transfer together, only H1B get approved under premium processing timeframe and need to wait for H4 extension to get approved under normal processing timeframe?
