Can I apply only for h4 ead and not h4 extension with spouse h1b transfer

My h4 ead is in pending from few months and now my spouse is going to apply for h1b transfer and I am planning to apply for new h4 ead without h4 extension with spouse h1b transfer in premium so that I get approval faster.

The reason I don’t want to file h4 extension with spouse h1b transfer is I am also filing for my h1b at the same time and if h4 extension is approved after my h1b approval then I will be on h4 and again I need to file h1b COS.

My concern is, will it be ok to file new h4 ead without h4 extension with spouse h1b transfer in premium and do I need to withdraw my pending h4 ead which was filed with his previous employer or can I withdraw it once my new h4 ead gets approved?

@anil_am22 please help
