H4/H1 both in concurrent process

[mumbai007]

Hello,

My H1 is expiring this Oct and my spouse's H4 as well. But I am planning a new H1 for her this April, so when her H1 application is still pending or in RFE status come Oct then is she out of status since her H4 is expiring?

Or will she be fine since her H1B application is still pending with USCIS? Also worst scenario if her H1 is rejected does she have to step out of the country and get a new H4 to come back or can that be done while staying here in USA.

Please let me know on this, any replies/suggestions are most welcome.....

Regards...
