I am in H-4 status and my I-94 expires in 4 months. I am applying for an extension of status, but my passport expires later this year. Can the USCIS approve my extension beyond the passport validity date?

Ordinarily, yes. The shortened passport generally is an issue at the port of entry, where it will result in a short-duration I-94 (tied to the passport validity). But the USCIS typically can grant an extension of status beyond the expiration date of the passport. (09.Feb.2023)
