H4 Stamping / I94 Question

[AC456]

My spouse’s previous I94 had expired earlier on 6/17/2019, and as such I had filed her H4 extension from my previous company to extended her stay on 4/8/2019.

I then switched my company on August and my new company’s attorney filed her H4 extension on 8/5/2019 . I have received my spouse’s approved H4 petition filed by new company attorney on 23rd December-2019, and as expected the validity of the petition and the I-94 form attached to the I797 petition filed by them is from 8/5/2019 to 6/9/2022 .

The H4 petition filed by my previous company on 4/8/2019 was also approved on 19th December - 2019 , but both the start date & the validity of this petition and the I-94 form attached to this petition is from 6/18/2020 instead of 6/18/2019 . This seems to be a mistake or an error on part of USCIS and as such I had reached out to USCIS at the customer service center to correct the error, but of late I did not received any call back from the Tier 2 officer even after 2 attempts .

My spouse has a planned travel to India in few weeks, and she would be doing her H4 stamping based on the approved H4 petition from my current(new) company .

However due to the gap between the last I94 expiry (6/17/2019) and start of new I-94 from(8/5/2019), is there any cause for concern during stamping or port of entry ? Should I still continue to reach out to USCIS to correct her start date of the I94 issued as part of her old H4 extension filed previously?

Please do let me know . Would really appreciate if you can provide some guidance on the best way forward .

Her H4 visa stamping will be based on your approved H1 petition. No entity called H4 petition. The fact that she got an I94 till 2022 means there is no issue.
