F1 to H4 Visa and F1 to F1

[ys123]

Hi,

I am right now on F1 - OPT visa and planing for transfer to H4 with EAD. My OPT expires on July 17th 2015, to maintain status of F1 visa with work permit (CPT) I am planing to join a school on July 11th 2015.

When shall I apply for change of status (COS) to H4 visa and EAD? Can I apply on May 26 or as soon as the form is released? or Shall I apply for H4 visa with EAD after the receipt of new I20 and transfer of F1 OPT to CPT i.e. July first week ?

My spouse has completed his 6 years of H1-B, has recd the approval of I140 and extension of H1b.

Please advise me on what has to be done?
