.mta177: I am not sure why did you file your case within DHS. As far as I know DHS is Department of Homeland Security? You never mentioned that you file your case within USCIS, which falls under Deparment of Homeland Security. But even at that time, USCIS is known as INS. You have gotton lucky, are you all done with your GC process yet? Getting H1B and H4 status is not enough if you file your GC. During I485, they may again ask you to show your previous status. Just be careful on documenting if ever you get NOF or RFE.
