L2 to H1 - COS

[kumar analyst]

Hi,

I am currently on L1 & my husband is working on L2. My visa expired in Jan 2011 but both our I-94 are valid till 01 Jan 12. My assignment ends in Nov & I need to leave US by mid of Nov 2011. My husband's employer is filing premium H1 for him next week & result is expected by end of Nov 2011.

After I leave US, is it OK for him to stay back in US until he receives an

approval/rejection from USCIS & can he still continue to work while his H1 is in process (His EAD expires on 01 Jan 12) ?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

K
