H4 Visa Extension question
My wife is having H4 Visa stamped on her passport valid till Oct 1, 2009. She recently traveled to India and she got new I-94 on her return trip to US at the POE valid till Jan 2011 (based on my I797). As her H4 visa in the passport expiring on Oct 1 , 2009, do I need to apply for her H4 visa renewal (or extension) ? or Is it not needed as she has valid I-94 till Jan 2011?

Thanks

----- The I-94 may be valid and that is for the status of entering and staying within US
----- She should have a valid H4 petition or H4 stamped on her Passport to ensure that she is legally permitted to stay as your dependent
