Hi, 

I am on H1-B and my wife plans to get her first H4 visa under expedite appointment and travel to US in Oct 2020

I have valid I-797 (lets call it x) expiring in Dec 2020.

I have new I-797 (lets call it y) from Jan 2021 - Dec 2023.

Q1 -> Should she use I-797 x in visa interview such that her visa stamp/sticker allows her to enter US before Dec 2020 ?

Q2 -> Can she use new I-797 y at port of entry to get her I-94 till Dec 2023 ?

Help will be really appreciated.

Thanks.
