Change of status from H4 to H1B as H4 extension pending

Hi,

My H1B-visa was filed in June under premium processing and it got approved in June itself. My H4-visa was expiring on August 29 and we applied for an extension in July which is still pending. Now my employer says that only after my H4-extension is approved they can apply for H4 to H1 COS as my status was undermined from Aug 30 to Sep 30. Is my H4 still showing “initial review” under USCIS because they find I already have H1b-approval? Does my employer need to file the COS petition again after H4-extension gets approved or is there any other way out?

I am worried, pls help.

Thanks for your time.
Annie
