H1B to F2(when PERM is pending) and F2 to H1B after I140 approval

Hi,

My PERM is filed on 2nd April'2018 and my H1B is getting max out on 15th July'2018.  As per current processing time I believe my PERM may not be approved before my H1B gets expired. My wife is currently on F1 VISA.

I have following queries.

1.  I am planning to moved to F2 VISA when my H1B is getting expired but F2 processing time is around 4 months so can stay in US on F2 receipt ?

2.  Should I fully use my H1B  period(till 15th July) or should i keep few days on my H1B so I can use it to extend it  if my I140 is approved ?

2.  Can I extend my H1B on F2's receipt  if my I-140 is approved ?

3.  What are the chances of F2 approval considering my immigration petition(PERM/I-140)  is pending ? 

4.  I live in California. Can I renew my driver's license on F2's receipt  ?

5. My company is very small(less than 10 people) but my pay is well above wage Level 4 and I have 10+ years of experience.  Will it be difficult to prove their ability to pay if I am not working when my I140 application is submitted while I am staying on F2 ?

I would really appreciate your help in this matter.

Thanks,

Vivs
