    H4 was not renewed will this be a problem during I485 processing ?

    grgcwait is correct. Most probably, and unfortunately, her I485 will be denied and she would have a 3 yr ban on entry to US. Your case should not be affected. Hire a top notch lawyer like Sheela Murthy or Rajiv and see if they have any options. - ab
