Looks like I am in big trouble and looking for experts on this forum to give some idea what I am into -
My H1 I-94 expired on 13-Oct-2013 and my extension was filed around the same date. The receipt has a date of 16-Oct-2013. I understand that it was avoidable circumstance but cannot argue with attorney. There was subsequent RFE and and last week the status was changed to "Approved" online. However my spouse's H4 was denied (received mail through USPS), although online status is still shown as "In Review". They has still not received H1 approval notice in mail meaning we don't know if it has I-94 attached to it or not.
Now the question is, does this make me out-of-status? And since it is more that 180 days since I-94 expired is it going to be even bigger trouble? I am getting worried every minute. Any suggestions? I don't think it will help but my I-140 is approved and currently waiting for priority date to become current.
Attorney will clarify on Monday or so but meanwhile any answer would help.
