I am filing a change-of-status application from H1B to H-4 shortly before my H1B I-94 expires. Can I stay in the U.S. while the application is pending, even after my I-94 expires?

Answer

One who has timely filed for a change or extension of status normally would be permitted to remain in the U.S. until a decision on the application is issued. (07.Aug.2019)
