You can apply yourself,but have to wait for your H1 approval. Since the h1 is pending lawyer has to do the I539 for your spouse.

My Lawyer told me that we need to apply for H4 visa extension before April 9, 2004. But my employer is not giving the permission to the lawyer to proceed further because my employer is asking some money.

My lawyer is telling me that she will be out of status after April9, 2004 if we do not apply for the extension.

Thanks

you can file H4 on your own. check out the below thread, which contains the details:

If your H1 is still pending also, you can apply for H4 extension, by mentioning your receipt #. Gurus, correct me if I am wrong on this.

I applied for my wife H4 ext. Jan 31st 2004 and it was approved on March 25th 2004 as per online message, waiting for the notice. But my H1 was approved long back, I forget to apply for H4 that time.

Hope this helps.
