What do you mean, from India? Whats the situation?
Is it like filing for H4 renewal + EAD and travel to India while its pending?

No, H4 stamping is done but the person is stuck in India. Wanted to know if the person's expired EAD can be renewed without that person being in the US

No H4 status then there is no H4 EAD. Seems you are doing it for first time. So refer the instructions.

Hi @harirajmohan

We are trying to renew it. This is not first time. Previous one expired. Got new h4 stamp and hence now trying to renew it

Ok good. Post here if you are successful in renewing outside so that others would know that uscis allows it.

Renewal and first time is the same thing. H4 EAD is conditional on having H4 status and there is no status outside the US.
