H4 Extension + EAD while still have pending H4 Extension

[Uhlerleaf]

So for context, spouse's H1b was set to expire last Feb 2024 while waiting for PERM. I applied for an H4 Extension last Oct 2023 and up until now it is still on pending. Initially, the immigration attorney requested for my spouse's H1B to be extended up until 2027 as they were also expecting that by the time the case was processed my spouse would already have her PERM by then. Long story short, she only got her H1b extended up until June 2024. Last month, we already got our PERM and I-140 approved, her company's law firm also applied for her H1B extension.

My question is, can I reapply for an H4 extension but this time with EAD? I'm leaning in applying for an H4 extension w/ EAD since the processing times is faster compared to just applying stand-alone EAD.
