My wife’s is on H4 visa in USA. Her i94 expired on February 18, 2025. Her i94 expiry date was adjusted to her passport expiry date. We did not realize this. She was valid H4 stamped on her old passport which is valid till July, 2026. We renewed her passport but we did not realize the i94 expiry. We came to know recently. We reached out to an attorney as she is closeing to 180 days mark on August 18, 2025. Attorney suggested to go with NPT filing and stay in USA until the result comesback. But NPT takes time. What NPT gets denied after 6 months then she will be out of status for more than 180 days. What are other options here?
Hello Anil,
Thanks. Yes, She is leaving US and applying for new visa from India. She is still under 180 days. Does she still need ban waiver fron US Embassy? I heard ban waiver only required if anyone crosses 180 day mark. Please clarify.
@subhashish82 did you get visa slot.
