L2 EAD - Primary application expiring, I-94 of dependant still valid

[retheeshmailme]

Hi,

I am currently on an L2 Visa.

The primary applicant's visa(L1 Blanket) and I-94 expires on April-2012

My visa expires on April-2012, but I have an I-94 valid till 2014.

My question -

1) Can I process my L2 EAD based on my I-94 expiry dates, or would I have to wait till my spouse's L1 extension approval.

2) Spouse's employer has not agreed to initiate my L2 extension since I have valid I-94 till 2014.If the answer to question 1) is "NO", can i Initiate my EAD after the primary applicant's extension is approved.

3) If I initiate my H1 before the current visa expiry(April-2012), can I still be in legal status in the US, after L2 expiry but before H1 approval?

Thanks.
