Gap in I94 - H4 Extension - Please help

[rm_latha]

Hi,

Here is my case :

Applied H1 extn on 4/26/2011. My dependent's H4 extn was also applied along with mine.

My H1 expired on 5/25/2011. So, when i got the new H1 extn, it showed the validity from 5/26/2011 to 7/22/2013. ( No issues ).

But, for my dependent as her Passport was expiring on 5/13/2011, she got an I94 valid till 5/13/2011 , when we entered the country in 2009.

Now on her new H4 extension, we observe that her I94 states that valid from 5/26/2011 to 7/22/2013.Though We had filed the application much before her I94 expired (4/26/2011 ).

So,there is a gap of 13 days in my dependent's I94 ( 5/13/2011 to 5/26/2011). Will this be a problem for GC ? do we need to get this corrected ? Please suggest.

Thanks

NO Problem. The very fact that an I94 was issued makes her legal. At the risk of endless repetition the USCIS does not backdate. If they give you an I94 you are legal inspite of the gap.
