H1B transfer while H4 and H4 EAD are in process (194 expired)

H1 extension along, H4, and H4 EAD were all filed together in premium processing. H1 got approved quickly, but H4 and EAD have been pending for 100+ days.

My spouse's H4 I-94 has now expired while the H4 and EAD extension remains pending. I'm now considering changing jobs and my new employer has already started the LCA process.

Should I:

  1. file another H1 transfer bundled with new H4 + EAD applications, or
  1. only transfer H1 and leave the current H4/EAD pending?

Can my spouse go out of status if I don't file another
H4 application and my current employer withdraws the old H1 after | leave?

Any other possibility and suggestions.
