H1B to H4 after during H1B extension pending

[criscris]

Hi,

Both my wife and I are on H1B. My visa expires in 2014, and my wife's expires o 5th march. usually her employer files for extension during the last 2 weeks as per their policies. In case, unfortunately, her visa extension gets RFE, we will hae some 30-60 days to respond. to be on the safe side, during that 30-60 days of time, can I apply H4 for my wife as RFE are likely to get deniel?

We can't file for extension earlier due to company policies. So, Ineed to understnad the alternatives in this situation.

Thanks

It would be an act of folly. She will have 240 days to wait if necessary.
