Spouse's I94 date (H4 visa) different than my H1 visa expiration

[vicky123]

m a resident physician on h1b visa which is expiring on 6-30-2010 . I am in process of applying for H1B extension for my fellowship. My wife is on H4 visa (expiring in 3-20-2013 since she got 5 yr multiple visa). Recently she visited Kuwait and on her re-entry she was given entry (on her I94) up to 3-15-2013 (up to 5 days prior to her visa expiration). Not sue if it is an error made by the immigration officer. Will she also need extension in this case along with my extension or can she stay in US till 2013 with out extension Thanks.

Not required to file the H4 extension as long as the H4 I-94 remains valid for more than 6 months. You can file the extension only 6 months in advance of the current status expiry (I-94 expiry).
