Hi, I recently (March 20, 2020) filed an I-485, adjustment of status, as well as I-130, I-131, and I-765. I am married (since 18 years) to an American citizen, and we have two kids, both citizens. I am in the US on an L-1b VISA, which expires in Nov, 2020. The I-94 is valid until March 2023.
We have lived in Europe before, and intended to go back, but changed our minds.
Due to the pandemic I expect the processing time for the EAD (I-765) to be very long, and in worst case I don't get it before the L-1 expires. What happens then?
Can I still work? - I guess not as I am out of status?
I can still stay as the I-94 is valid, but can I be employed, without salary?
I-765 pending (EAD), L-1 expiring, I-94 valid

Are there any exceptions in cases like these?
thankful for any response!
