I am writing to give a brief overview of my wife's case and wanted to see what our options are. She is currently on an H4 visa
- We both have a stamp on our passports until March 2018.
- I changed my job in Aug 2015 and we both got new I-797 until 08/2018.
- She visited her parents in India in 04/2016 and upon arrival received a new I-94 this time only till 08/2017 based on her passport expiry date
(This is where I made a mistake and did not notice the date)
- March 2017 she got a new passport valid till 2027.
Last nite we realized that my wife's I-94 expired in 08/2017 and she has been out of status ever since. The only silver lining is she is in <180days
She has
1) H4 Visa stamped till March 2018 from my old company
2) Approved I-797 till Aug 2018 from my new company
3) A valid passport till 2027.
4) An expired I-94
I contacted CBP Deferred Inspections and they said they cannot do anything as this was not an error on their end
What are options now?
1) Travel to Mexico
2) Travel to India
Any advice is much appreciated.
