H1 filing and H4 extension at the same time

[ramesh.bhukya]

Hi ,

Currently I am on H4, came on long leave from my job .

I entered USA on 2nd Dec 2012. Found one sponsor for H1 filing for the April 2014 cap,(So for April 2013 he is going to file my H1b).

My Spouse H1 and my H4 is going to expire on 31st Jul 2013 , we are applying for the extension of both H1 and H4.

I don't want to sit idle at home, So I am planning to go back India and want to continue my Job.

Is there any problem if we do the two applications at the same time (H1 and H4 extensions) .

Please clarify.... thanks in advance.
