Examples of real life cases where H1B extension was approved after denial with specialty occupation.

Court case should be the last option.

How USCIS #H4EAD extension processing time of 6-8 months is forcing job losses.

Its unfair to allow filing EAD extension only before 180 days of expiry.

Going to court increases each EAD work permit cost to $4400.

Share it so that it reaches main stream media and USCIS ears.

Some #H4EAD expedite requests do get approved by USCIS.
Here is one example:

We are seeing this new trend where US embassy is issuing #DS5535 after a delay of 4-5 months these days.
This is really strange and seems like another strategy to delay processing.
