Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

L2 to H1 and EAD

I am on L1 in US for the past 6 months and have an approved EAC for H1B. My wife has an EAD on L2 and she is currently working. Kindly request you to answer the following questions:

1. How can she convert her L2 visa to H1B without a quota and is there any waiting period?

2. I will not be travelling outside US to get my stamping for H1B. But I will be legally working on H1B from October 1st. Will my spouse be able to continue to work on L2 (Please note: I have filed her H4)?

Many thanks in advance.
