H1 B to H4 and H4 EAD Application

[krishna2708]

Hello Everyone,

My current status is H1B which is valid until sept 2021. I got laid off due to Covide-19 in the month of July and my 60 day grace period is ending on Sept 8th. I already sent the application for H1 to H4 COS and H4 EAD on 9/4/2020. USCIS received my application on 9/5/2020. I just realized that USCIS updated the I765 application on Aug 25, 2020. I downloaded the I765 application on Aug 24th and I used the same.
1. Will USCIS rejects my I-765 application as I used the older version?
2. I send both I-539 for COS and I-765 together. If USCIS rejects my I-765, will they reject my I-539 too?
3. Can I send the new I-765 form to USCIS now?

I really appreciate your input

Hi Member,
1. Will USCIS rejects my I-765 application as I used the older version?
Answer: Maximum Yes. That is what USCIS website says. Could you please let me know, what is the status right now? Did you get any update for now?
2. I send both I-539 for COS and I-765 together. If USCIS rejects my I-765, will they reject my I-539 too?
Answer: No. Both petitions will be in different adjudication.
3. Can I send the new I-765 form to USCIS now?
Answer: Yes you can file H4 EAD petition separately too.
Thanks.
