I have filed H1B extension, H4 extension and first time H4 EAD application for my wife together in Feb 2022. My H1B extension got approved in April 2022 and we are still waiting for the results of H4 extensions and H4 EAD. My wife needs to travel outside the country due to emergency reasons. She has a valid H4 visa till July 2022 and she is planning to come back to the US in June before her visa expires.My questions is will her H4 extension and H4 EAD will have any issues, because her I94 will change if she goes out of the country?

She can either get appointment at embassy(dropbox in most cases) and get the new H4 visa stamped based on your approved I797 copy
OR if she cannot get an appointment due to huge backlog at embassy. Then while returning, show your latest 1797 at port of entry..She will get her 194 based on your approved I797 date.

The travel should not cause rejection on H4 EAD generally.
