H1 Activation when H4-EAD is in process

[Sskp]

I'm currently in H4-EAD valid till Dec 2020. We applied for a new extension in mid july and spouse H1 got approved but I'm waiting for H4-EAD Biometrics. So I'm trying to activate my unused H1, but I have the below question which I need some clarification on,

 

1. What happens to the current H4 EAD extension process (Applied in July 20) when H1 activation gets rejected?

2. Should I need to go out of the country to get my visa stamped if the H1 gets rejected ?

3. Once my H1 gets approved , can I start the work without going out of the country for stamping?

4. Are there any challenges to activate my unused H1?

Answer 1: Your H4 EAD extension process will continue simultaneously, even after your H1 is rejected.

Answer 2: I dont think you have to go out of country to get your visa stamped, if H1 gets rejected.

Answer 3:  If your H1b is approved with a valid I-94 date at the bottom of approval notice, then you can start the work without going out of the country for stamping.

Lets see what other experts suggest.
