Hi
I applied for my 7th year H-1B extension in oct 2003. My H-1 was expiring on Feb 2004. My petiton got approved on November 15th 2003. Then I applied for my wifes I-539 but nebraska center sent it back and finnaly we applied for I-539 on January 26th at Texas center as per instructions from Nebraska center. We got a receipt from Texas dated Jan 27th 2004. Her I-94 also expires on Feb 8th. Her I-539 is still pending. My question is
1:) Is she out of status or since her I-539 is pending she is ok?
2:) If she has to go to india and her I-539 is not approved what are our options? Is there any way to expediate it since my H-1 is already approved.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
 
Since you have already applied before the I-94 expiry date, she's fine.

Although, it should not be a problem to go to India get a new stamp and come back witha new I-94, It would be good to just wait out. It's almost 4 mos. so I think it should be coming in anytime soon.

BTW, why are you so happy if she is out of status ... ;)

Hi

I typed my note on openoffice and pasted it here and have no idea how the smiley came in the note. My wife won't be happy at all if she see's the note.
Thanks a lot for your reply.

----She is OK if her H4 extension was filed before her I-94 expiry date and she got the reciept from USCIS for h4 extension filing
2:) If she has to go to india and her I-539 is not approved what are our options?
------- She can get H4 Visa stamp based on your H1 approval notice AND she should take the H4 extension filing reciept with her ( show only if asked)
**Remember for H1 and H4 Visa stamps Chennai and Bombay US consulates are creating problems and need truck load of documents.
Is there any way to expediate it since my H-1 is already approved.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
