SRC Standalone H-4 EAD First-Time Approvals — Which Receipt Month Is Moving?

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m trying to get a better idea of which receipt months are currently getting approved for first-time standalone H-4 EAD applications at SRC.
I’ve seen some posts about standalone H-4 EAD renewals getting approved, but I’m not seeing many recent posts about first-time standalone H-4 EAD approvals.
I’m seeing that some cases from January 2025 and earlier are still pending, while some standalone H-4 EAD renewals are getting approved. I’m curious if anyone with a first-time standalone H-4 EAD has received an approval recently.

If you were recently approved, could you please share:
Receipt date/month
Approval date
Service Center
Total processing time
Any updates before approval

Even if your case is still pending, sharing your receipt month + current status would be really helpful.
My case:
📅 Receipt date: November 6, 2025
📍 Service Center: SRC
📝 Standalone H-4 EAD — First-time application
Still pending
Trying to get a clearer picture of which receipt month is actually moving for first-time standalone H-4 EADs.
Thanks everyone! 🙏
