My husband is on L1 A blanket visa and I am on L2 visa. 
I-94 expiry date:
Husband -03/20/2020

cleardot.gifWife -12/19/2020

 My EAD expired in May 2019,i forgot to renew my EAD and worked for two months(i went through medical surgeries and it slipped our mind about renewal process). As soon as we released, I quit my job and notified HR about this.
My husband's company is applying for L1/L2 renewal's.

1. what are the consequences we need to face because of my violation, during the renewal process?
2.will I be able to apply for EAD again once our visa renewal gets approved?
3. Will I be denied for the extension?
4.do I need to show any medical documents to support my violation during that time?
5. It will affect my i-485, how to rectify the situation

Please help? we are in a lot of stress thinking about the situation.

You really need an attorney for this. I'm not a lawyer. Below is what I think, but remember I'm a random person on the internet: 

1. If you worked on expired EAD for less than 180 days you may be protected by 245(k), depending on your status. The days of violation start counting from your last legal entry. 

2. Given that you had not even applied for the extension of the EAD prior to your violation, that's unlikely to succeed. But who knows...

3. Probably. But you may have some recourse. Don't leave the US without consulting a competent lawyer. It's generally easier to solve these problems from the US.

4. If it comes to that, yes. If you're in the US, chances are that only the Immigration Judge can remove you, meaning you can use all such evidence before the decision. 

5. If you're in the US and filing I-485, the 245(k) will probably protect you as long as your violation was for less than 180 days. 

 

It's not so bad. Most likely the angel of 245(k) is on your side. But again, get a good attorney and don't relay on random posts on the internet like the above.
