More details to this question:
I just got my I-140 approved. My H1B Six year cap will be completed by Jan'2017. H1 Extension has been filed in Premium and will be approved only till January 2017. Once thats approved, My employer will be filing H1B extension (Beyond 6 years) based on i140 by November 2016 in Normal Processing Mode. My Spouse is in H1B and would like to convert to H4 - H4 EAD. Can we file this conversion and EAD - 1) Right way with approved i140. 2) Simultaneously with H1B extension (based on approved i140) 3) only after H1B extension is approved

Your spouse may request a change of status to H-4 at any time in which you hold H-1B status. That being said, it may be best to wait until after your extension beyond the six-year cap isaporoved to avoid having to file a changexif status followed by an immediate extension of status.
