CAN MY DEPENDENTS STAY EVEN IF THEY HAVE A PENDING H4/I-539?

         Question:

My H1B extension was approved until 2023 but my dependents’ H4 extension is still pending. Can my dependents stay beyond 240 days of previous petition expiry (December-2020) if not approved before then.

Answer: 

The dependents can be here till the date that they have asked for in their H4 extension petitions even if it remains pending. However, they cannot stay past their requested date.
