Current visa on my passport is expiring in August 2006
but because I have a new I-797 valid till November
2007, at Port of Entry I was given I-94 valid till
November 2007. My wife too got an I-94 valid till
November 2007 based on my status but she doesn’t have
any I-539 approval after August 2006.

Question:
1. Do I need to file I-539 for my wife or there is no
need to file I-539 as she already had I-94 valid till
November 2007 (same date as mine).

2. In case if I don’t file I-539 for my wife will
there be any complications in future?

Yes, you need to file I-539 as that form shows the H4 status and attached to it will be the I-94. Do not be without it and do not leave home without it

2. In case if I don’t file I-539 for my wife will

Your wife will be out of status and defencding yourself on the basis of a previous will be futile attempt to convince the Immigration authorities.

Any questions, drop into the forum
