H4 -out of status (urgent)

[MLIF1972]

Hi,

My wife's H4 visa and I-94 expired on July 1 2005. My company's lawyer filed for my H1B transfer, but did not file her extension. She applied for H1B from the same company. She received an approved H1 and I94 in May 2005 (Valid from Oct 1 2005 onwards).

We were under the impression that since she had received an I-94, she is ok.Recently we were told that she is out of status since July 1, 2005 when her original H4 visa and I-94 expired.

Is she out of status? She received an I-94 with the H1B approval before the H4 and accompanying I-94 expired.

Thankyou in advance

------------ if her H1 was filed as Change of status from H4 to H1 BEFORE her I-94 expiry date of July 1,2005 then she is in status if she is working on H1
We were under the impression that since she had received an I-94, she is ok.
Recently we were told that she is out of status since July 1, 2005 when her original H4 visa and I-94 expired.
------------ as she changed from H4 to H1 how she is out of status? she is NOT on H4 status as her status was changed to H1. who tod you she is out of status? did you ask why?
Is she out of status? She received an I-94 with the H1B approval before the H4 and accompanying I-94 expired.
----------- She is on H1 status if she has valid I-94 attached with her H1 approval notice and working on H1 status and is being paid by the employer who filed her H1
Thankyou in advance
