H4 Visa Extension Question

Hi,
My wife's H4 visa is expiring on 01-OCT-2007. We are planning to file the extension now.
Suppose we apply the extension and her H4 visa approval comes on 20-OCT-2007, then will her stay from 01-OCT to 20-OCT be considered legal?

What if she wants to go to India on 10-OCT-2007? Will she be marked for deportation while leaving the country because of the 10 days overstay? What documents will she have to carry while leaving the country to show that her H4 extension is awaited? And that she had a legal reason to stay beyond her current H4 validity?

Please note that I have already got my H1 extension (I-797) recently. The reason we are in this situation is because I did not apply for her H4 extension at the same time.

Thanks
Shyam
