Hello,
I need some advice on an issue am facing with regards to my spouse and child's H4 change of status application. Below is the timeline of events.
1. I am in USA on an O1 visa. My company filed for my H1B in April 2019 and my application was selected in the lottery.
2. Subsequently they filed change of status application for my spouse and child (2 applicants) on 19th September 2019.
3. My H1B was approved on 23 September 2019.
4. My spouses and childs H4 application was returned to us on 4th October 2019 because of the following reason:
- Appropriate fees not paid for the number of applicants.
- USCIS thought that the application was for my wife and 2 children, while I have only 1 child.
- They listed the name of my child twice on the rejection letter stating that there were 3 applicants.
- I don't know if this is an USCIS error or an error on the part of my lawyers who filed the application.
5. We refiled the application on 10th October 2019 with a cover letter stating that there are only 2 dependents (1 spouse and 1 child).
6. USCIS rejected this application on 16th October 2019 for the following reasons:
- Signature page missing on form I-539A
- My lawyers claim that the signature page was present in the sent application, but since the application was printed 2 sided USCIS missed scanning the 2nd page.
7. We filed the change of status application for the 3rd time on 24 October 2019 which was finally accepted for processing by USCIS.
Given this background my question is the following:
Since the change of status application was finally accepted by USCIS after October 1st what are the changes that this application will get approved?
