Westlake Village, CA asked in Immigration Law for California

Q: I got new H1B petition approved but my wife does not have the new H4 visa stamp (she has old H4 visa). When should she t

Please note today is 07-Oct-2013. I had old H1B stamped from employer A valid till 05-Dec-2013. Now I changed the job and got a new H1B petition approved for 3 years for employer B. I received original papers of new H1B approved petition and I-94 without leaving USA. Now my wife is in India and her dependent visa is having Employer A name which is expiring on 05-Dec-2013. She is planning to come here during mid-Nov 2013. Which is the best thing to do:

1). Ask her to travel here with old H4 dependent visa during mid-nov (with expiry date 05-Dec-2013 for employer A) and then file for her H4 extension?

2). Send her my new H1B original papers and ask her to go for stamping in India for new H4 visa for employer B and then travel here? Thank you so much in advance
