Here is Situation
Husband's H4 expired in 1st Feb. '07 (forgot to renew along with
wife's H1).
Wife's H1 was renewed and is still active.
Is Husband out of status (I suppose so?)

If so what are the alternatives of getting back in status and/or
visiting
home country and coming back without problems? Could she try for
another H4
from the home country based on husband's H1? Risks? Please advice or
share
experiences. Thanks

Apply for H4 for him and explain that you forgot to renew it in a
cover letter as soon as you can. No problem.

1 Husband is out of status
2 your wife can file H4 extension (take the help of lawyer)
(the risk is if H4 extension is denied then he may be out of status more than 6 months and 3-10 bar will start)
3 best option go out of US , get H4 visa based on spouse H1 and then reenter on H4 status.
