回复：大吼一声， 因为曾经先生F1 out of status， 看了

according to USCIS regulation in
http://www.uscis.gov/lpbin/lpext.dll/inserts/afm_redacted/afm-95-redacted-499-1/afm-95-redacted-7540/afm-95-redacted-7564?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm

(4) Effect of Decision on Unlawful Presence and Tolling.

(A) Approved Applications. If USCIS approves an E/S or C/S application, the alien will be granted a new authorized period of stay, retroactive to the date the previously authorized stay expired, as applicable to the nonimmigrant classification under which the alien was admitted (or to which the alien had previously be changed) pursuant to 8 CFR 214.2. No unlawful presence accrues. This applies to aliens admitted until a specific date and aliens admitted D/S.

I think you may be fine since your H4 should be retroactive to the date the previously authorized stay expired. What is the dates in your H4 approval notice (valid from xxxx to xxxx)? did it start from the first day your previous valid status expired?

I also think you should consult an attorney.
