No other pending H4 petition, wife I-94 expired in Aug 2020 with the extension case still in progress until today, which was denied...

Can I still reapply new I-539 including the denial notice and the grace period of 180 days starting today?

ledhu, Neither me nor my wifeleft  U.S since the case still in progress... India ki travel cheyaledhu in 2020 or 2021.. 

I got in touch with attorney , but she said to attach the notice once I receive it in mail to see the options and refiling H4..

But I'm kind of nervous, as my H1-B is current and validate for another two years, na wife H4 can be still refiled with out her going back to India, correct??
