H4 refile after husband's 6th yr extn

[cpuri4]

My wife had applied for h1 --> h4 on 13 Apr, 2011
My h1b is valid till 30-Sep-2011.
Hence i believe when her h4 gets approved it will be valid till 30-Sep-2011.
BTW, just noticed today that my wife's h1 --> h4 was approved on 29th July and i am yet to see the approval notice by mail. All that i know is that it is approved.

I am currently running into my 6th yr and have I-140 approved. On this basis I have applied for my 7th yr extn (may get for 3 yrs or 1 yr - cant say these days).

Ques : Since my 7th yr h1b extn is currently pending, so do I need to file the h4 once again for my wife attaching the copy of my extn application so that her h4 is also extended till the date I get the H1b approved ---- OR ------ should I wait for some more time till my h1b gets approved and then use the approved h1b to file for my wife's h4 extn beyond 30th Sep 2011.

----Wait for your H1 extension to be approved. once your H1 gets approved and you have H1 approval in hand then file your wife H4 Extension on the base of your H1 extension. You Can file her H4 extension 6 months before her I-94 expiry date or her H4 extension petition must reach BEFORE her H4 based I-94 gets expired.
