The news articles may not understand the nitty-gritty of H4 and H4 EAD and hence are claiming big changes for H1B and H4. As per our estimate, only about a small percentage of H4 EADs will get the benefit of auto extension as most file H4 extension and EAD renewal at the same time. This means that most H4 i94 would be having the same expiry date as the EAD expiry. Hence, in this case, there will be no auto H4 EAD extension.
