My H4/I94 expired in Feb, 05.

Did not apply for H4 extension then because I was using EAD and also had AP. Now our I140/485 has been denied which means I need to switch back to H4.

Can I go to Canada instead of India to get my new H4? I think I cannot apply for extension because my old visa has already expired.

I don't want to go to India because I am pregnant and due in December and the current appointments that I am getting are in December.

In mid-Aug I would cross 180 days from the time my visa expired.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

-------------- in your situation India is better
I think I cannot apply for extension because my old visa has already expired.
------------------ your I-94 is expired in feb 05 you cant file H4 extension with USCIS, you need to go out ASAP as your no more AOS pending

--------------- is your spouse still on H1B status?? if yes, go to India for stamping

Any suggestions please?

Yes my spouse is on H1B status.

I485 was denied because of education (Masters) qualification RFE. If I appeal would my EAD and AP become active until the appeal is rejected again?

If I go to India and submit DS156 should I mention Yes for item 38 question?

Have you ever violated the terms of a U.S. visa, or been unlawfully present in, or deported from, the United States?

Thanks

------------------ it seems USCIS denied I-140 (I-485 depends on I-140) talk to good lawyer I dont know the case details like LC or I-140

----------------- your spouse need to discuss with good lawyer

--------------- your H4 I-94 is expired and your spouse I-485 and your I-485 is denied. I think you were in AOS pending after your I-94 expired and the day I-485 is denied you dont have any status. please ask your lawyer for more info or others may help you.
Thanks
