2) If so , how can i add ? which form i need to use?

Please let me know as soon as possible.

You should consult an immigration lawyer asap.

We had to put forward our wedding in 2003 because my husband's GC was about to be approved and our lawyer had told him that if his approval came thru and my application hadn't been filed by then, I would be out of status and would need to leave the country.
I am not sure what the way around it is but you should speak to a lawyer immediately as your H1 is no longer valid and hence your wife's H4 too.

Good luck!
