My spouse’s H4 visa, along with the I-539 extension, was approved from June 2023 to June 2026. We traveled to India in Nov 2023. When re-entering the U.S., the CBP officer shortened her I-94 to Feb 2025 (passport expiry date). We didn’t check online at that time.
Recently, while preparing for another extension, I realized that the CBP-issued I-94 overrides the I-539 I-94 date, which means my wife has technically been out of status for close to 240 days.
She went to Chennai Consulate for interview and she got 221G slip. They also kept the passports.
What is general timeline for processing for 221G nowdays ?
