Hi:
My spouse is in H1B. He got his renewal through premium processing. I applied for H4 on May 2022. As there is no premium processing, I am waiting for my H4 extension. It's California Service Center. USCIS website shows it takes 8 to 9.5 months to process H4 extension. My lawyer is saying it shouldn't take that long. He says one could get in less than 6 months.
My questions:
1) How long it takes to get H4 extension?
2) I am going to India in September 2022. If I didn't get my H4 extension by that time (my H4 expires on Aug 2022), my friend is saying that I could use my spouse's H1B and show the officers my H4 applied paper work and still come into US. My friend is not sure, though. Is that possible?
Thank you everyone for your time. Please forgive me if this is a basic question. I googled it, but not getting the proper answer.
