Hello,
I have forgot to apply h4 extension for my wife (i94 expired on Mar-24-2024) and accrued unlawful presence of 8 months due lack of immigration knowledge myself and my employer filed only my H1B extension and did not give information about it. I heard she is already trigger 3 year bar as she crossed more than 180 days. Just came to know about this 2 days back. We had 1 year old baby. Her visa was valid till March -24 - 2024 , which was my previous I797 validity date. Due to location change and amendment applied my I797 extended to Sept 2025. I though my wife also had validity till Sept 2025 and not applied her extension. I checked with attorney and planning to apply her H4 extension. She doesn’t have knowledge on immigration and visa things and not able to manage English as well, every time i only applied extensions and everything behalf of her. Could you please suggest and guide what best options i have to choose to get her extesnion approve.
File H4 NPT application with USCIS to request i94 from back date. Or leave US and Get H4 visa stamp with entry ban waiver from US embassy
