Effective January 25th USCIS to Bundle Adjudication of Dependent H and L Extensions with Principal Petition

As part of an agreement to settle a class action law suit challenging H-4 and L-2 adjudication delays, USCIS agreed to bundle adjudication of H-4 and L-2 dependent applications and any associated applications for I-765 employment authorization documents, so long as they are filed concurrently with the principal underlying I-129 petition. The bundling will apply to cases filed under both regular and premium processing, will take effect on January 25, 2023, and will be in effect for 2 years.
