Got my H1B extension waiting for my wife's H4 extension
I had my H1B extension done with premium processing and I received the approval notice. Along with it we had also filed for my wife's H4 extension along with EAD. We have the receipt for it from USCIS and she is also done with her fingerprints. The current I94 (from current I797) expires on Nov 25, 2026. She is not currently working and I don't care much about the EAD. My question is since we have the receipt notice, can she stay in the US until her approval notice (which contains the new I97) is issued or does she have to leave the country by Nov 25? Leaving the country invalidates her H4 extension application, so I am assuming it is safe to stay in the US? Please suggest. Thanks.
