Specific question on H1B

All,

I am in a very peculiar position with regards to my H1B. Appreciate if the experts can provide their thoughts....

My current H1B expires on April 12 2013 which is a Friday. I have got approval for my H1B renewal but that starts from April 15 2013 with the same company, which is a Monday. My questiions are:

1. If I stay in US on April 13 and April 14th, will I be out of status for those 2 days.

2. Do I need to leave US before April 12, get a visa from a US Consulate and need to re-enter US

3. Should I request my lawyer for filing an amendment or something like that.

4.Do I have any other options or I am thinking too much.

Meanwhile, with all this, my wife got her H4 visa which is valid from April 13 2013. Does this situation mean anything to our cases.

Thanks

=> If the new petition was filed before April 12th, no need to worry, you are in status.
