H4 revalidation since my current H4 is expiring

Hello Sir,

Looking for some advise/Opinions on below queries related to I94 Revalidation:

Current Scenario -
1) I am currently working on H4 EAD.
2) H4 Visa and EAD both are expiring on Mar 2025
3) My Stamped H4 Visa on Passport is also expiring on Mar 2025
4) Applied for extension in Dec 2024 and currently in Pending status.
5) My Spouse H1B recently approved until 2027.

Queries:
Based on the current waiting time, i am not expecting my approval by Mar 2025 and I am thinking to go to Mexico for I94 Revalidation to extend my I94 based on approved spouse H1B (I797 approval notice).
1) Am i eligible for I94 automatic re-validation, since I have valid stamped Visa until Mar 2025?
2) If I travel outside US (To Mexico), will it impact my pending current H4 and EAD applications? Do I need to reapply both the applications?
3) if I go to Mexico and returning back will there be any issues?
Appreciate your suggestions here. Thank You!!
 
That's not called Automatic Revalidation. Automatic Revalidation is when someone re-enters on an expired visa (or wrong type of visa) with a valid I-94. You have a valid visa of the right type. You are simply seeking a whole new entry and period of stay on the basis of your visa. Your H4 Extension of Stay would be automatically abandoned when you leave the US (since it is moot -- it no longer matters what the decision would have been). I don't know whether it would affect the H4 EAD application.
 
Got it and thank you.
But can I get few details : My current H4 visa is valid till Mar 30 2025 and I94 is valid till April 10 2025, since my both H4 and H4 EAD is taking time to process in order to keep my employment continuation after Mar 2025 ,if I re reenter US from Mexico or Canada again that might get my I94 renewed to my spouse new H1B & I94 validity date (2027) and can I continue my work since my H4 EAD is already filed?
