H-4 validity dates are worng. What now?

Here are the details folks:

1. last H1 and H4 expiring: 4/27/09

2. filed for extention and got reciept date of 4/23/09 for both filings.

3. Got query on H-1 which was resolved and got approval in Sept for H1 valid from 4/28/09- 4/27/2012

4. Got approval for H-4 in mid oct but the 797 for the spouse says valid from 11/28/09 - 4/27/2010.

Questions:

1. Is this a mistake on USCIS's part? If so, how should I approch them to get her validity FROM date corrected? We requested the extention from 4/28/2009.

2. If we do nto get this corrected, does that mean the spouse was out of status for this period? Although the reciept date we got is before the H-4 expiration?

Please advice.

Thanks.

----------------May be USCIS mistake Or your lawyer mistake on her I-539 form. Talk to lawyer who filed her H4 extension.
2. If we do nto get this corrected, does that mean the spouse was out of status for this period?
--------------Yes
Although the reciept date we got is before the H-4 expiration?
------------------Get is corrected so that no problem for Visa stamp or GC in future. contact your lawyer.

Please advice.

Thanks.
--------------- update others how you resolved the problem.

I had exact problem, when I called USCIS customer service center and opened a ticket .

Few days later, I got a letter that validity date mentioned on the approval letter, is the date case was adjudicated and is not a mistake. I also contacted my lawyer, he told me as long as we recieved receipt letter, then we are fine and in valid status for that period.
