H1 Transfer - Issue with H4 for spouse

I came to the US on an F1 and my wife came on F2. We have not left the country since then.

I got a job at company A and they sponsored my H1B and H4 for my wife. On our approval notices, it says visa valid to 07/04/2008. Then I joined company B which sponsored my H1B. I am currently working with them. However, we did not file for H4 for my wife with company B. I had talked to the immigration specialist for company B and she said we do not need to file I-539 for my wife since the H4 approval notice from company A was valid until 07/04/2008 and that I would have to file I-539 when that date was near. Is this correct?

If not, is my wife out of status. I started working with company B on Sept 2006. Any ideas what we need to do to fix this.
 
Thanks shankyyy for your response which is indeed good news for me. Just for the peace of my mind, do you know where I could find documentation regarding this.
