L2-EAD invalid. Can i work after filed petition for H1B?

Hi,

i am on L2-EAD. Now my L2 is expired but I94 and EAD is valid till Sept 2013. I am working now. My husband going to change his status from L1 to F1 in july 2013 and my consultancy is planning to apply for H1b next year i.e. April 2013. Is it possible that [b]i can work after my L2-EAD is invalid but i filed petition for H1B.[/b]

You cannot work once your EAD expires. From the dates mentioned, it seems there would be a gap of 1 month or so when you cannot work (b/w Sep 2013 and Oct 2013).
