H4 extension while previous approval is pending

Hello All,

This community has been very helpful in clearing many visa questions. Thank you all for your support. I have a few questions regarding H4 now.
My husband has applied for change of status from L1 to H1 in July 2020. He got approved from July 2020 till March 2021. I have applied for L2 to H4 change of status in July 2020. I haven't received any response (Biometrics appointment/approval) yet. I called up USCICS to check status, they do not have an answer on how long this would take.
My husband will be filing for H1B extension in February 2021, can I apply for H4 extension along with his application. I have two questions here.
1)Are we eligible to apply for extension even though the previous approval is pending?
2)My husband has an I-140 approved, can I apply for H4 (I-539) and EAD (I-765) together or can I apply for I-765 only after the approval of H4?
Appreciate your advice on this.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
