h1b/H4 extension(premium processing ) be filed parallel to H4 to F1 cos

Myself H1b and wife's H4 visa/I-94 expire on May/1st/2014. I’m applying for H1 and H4 extension together in premium processing by March/20/2014

Spouse is currently enrolled in school on h4 status, going to complete her studies by dec/2014
Later on my spouse is going to apply for H4 to F1 change of status on April/1st/2014 , for Fall semester Aug/25/2014(Fall semester) and I -20 date is Aug/2014.


On May/02/2014 what will be my spouse status h4 or f1 ?, if both h4 extension and h4 to f1 cos get approved

On Aug/25/2014 what will be my spouse status h4 or f1 ? , if both h4 extension and h4 to f1 cos get approved

Do I need to wait for h1b/h4 extension approval before applying for spouse h4 to f1 change of status?

What will be best step to follow so that she can get f1 status by Aug/2014 without leaving country

I would wait for the H4 approval before I would apply for COS from H4 to F1. Since you are applying for Premium processing, approval should be quick for H4. Good luck.
