H4 Extension + H4 EAD Extension Expedite Request Denied (NSC)
So, I had expedited my H4 EAD renewal application owing to medical reasons on July 29th. The application was denied today (Aug 2nd) without even asking for additional details/proof by Nebraska Service Centre. Not sure of the reason yet.
Plan to raise an expedite request again. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Are biometrics still needed for H4 Extension?? Heard the need for biometrics has been revoked. ->

Hi, I also expedited my H4 EAD, pending since mid-March but it got denied at California service center without any documents requested. My EAD expires 09/04/21. I tried expediting with local congresswoman but have not heard back. I believe biometrics are not needed anymore from May 2021.
I raised a second expedite request through customer care last week since I didn’t hear back on the first one and on August 5 th it shows up on my account as denied.
H4 extension is also pending from February 8th 2021. I am just praying for a positive outcome.

Got a Request For Initial Evidence today. Not sure about what. Need to wait.
I am now worried how much longer it would take to resolve this
Sanjana NAug 19, 2021

Aparna TAug 19, 2021

hi, S S
I received it in October.
In my case none of the Expedite requests worked out, they just did it in their own time line.
Sanjana NJan 17, 2022

My expedite requests are denied bcoz they need biometric but biometrics are suspended right
Dipali SFeb 15, 2022

Aparna TFeb 15, 2022
No, I didn’t have any biometric.
