H4 Extension for child turning 21 yrs

[skwis]

Applying for my H1  extension and wife & Child's H4 extension. I 140 approved, 

Child is turning 21 years soon. 

As I understand child cannot be on H4 past 21 years,

So, I think child will get H4 extension only upto when child reaches 21 years.

Should we apply Wife and child's H4 extension jointly or separately? What are the benefits and drawbacks?

I assume if we file jointly, both child and wife will get shorter  ( less than 3 years ) H4 extension because of child turning 21 years soon.

If we file separately, child will still get shorter extension but at least  wife will get 3 years extension. 

Please let me know if my understanding is correct and what would be the best bet.

You can file together. Both will get separate I-94's with different expiry dates.
