H4 Extension without filing I-539 form

[robo888]

Hi,

 

My H1 got extended recently. I didn't file for H4 extension of my spouse together with H1 extension since she was in India. Now I want to get H4 extended.

 

Can I get H4 of my wife extended by crossing border (mexico) and coming back to USA?

 

I am not planning to file H4 extension using I-539 form.

 

Please let me know if this is valid form of extension

 

Thanks,

Yes, she needs to attend visa interview.

Where is your spouse now?

[robo888]

The spouse is in US now. Visa is still valid so not planning to get Visa now. Will apply for dropbox in India which will be easier

or to make question simple.

 

If I get I-94 of my spouse extended by crossing border and coming back to US, do I still need to file I-539 for my spouse? Please let me know

You made the question complicated. She can cross the Mexican border and return using her H4 visa and your current H1 approval and MAKING SURE to ASK for a new I94.

You need the file H4 extension thats the only way using I539 form...

 

By crossing the border you can get the I94 updated based on the H4 petition...

I have the same question as above. My wifes H4 visa and EAD expire in October and so does my H1B visa. I already have a new I-797 extension for my H1B valid till October 2018. We plan to leave the US for a week and be back next two weeks (July). During entering the US, is the port of entry official suppose to extend our I-94s to October 2018?, Will my wifes legal status be extended till October 2018 as well while entering in July?
