Normally the COS effective date is the date that your current nonimmigrant status ends, the approval date, or the requested date, whichever occurs earlier. If you want the H4 starting on a special date, you need to call it out in the cover letter and explain the reason to USCIS. Both successful and unsuccessful stories were reported on this BBS in the past. Also it is possible that H4 and H4 EAD may be not approved on the same day.
