Visa Extension

A visa is only needed when you go out of the US and desire to come back to the US. As of now you may remain in the US up to February 2011.
Your spouse and child, if they are on H-4 visa, should not have a problem in extending their visa to February 2011 if you maintain the status of H-1, that is being employed with paystubs to substantiate. The caveat is--have you extended the visa status for your spouse and child and is their visa also valid up to February 2011; and you are asking only about the stampings?
 
Answers below:
a. No, provided you do not attempt to re-enter US.
b. Yes you (along with your family) can get an appointment at an US consulate in India for visa stamping.
c. Are their visas reamin valid till the departure date? In that case there is no issue.
