Have L2 and H1B, have 2 I94, both are valid?

[Mou]

I've L2 Visa stamped and H1B visa as well which is not stamped.I started working in EAD which is expired in jan'12. My H1B is valid till 2013. I went to India in nov 2011 and came back in dec 2011 showing L2 visa and won't go for stamping H1b. So I got a new I-94 for L2 visa. I still have another i-94 attached in my h1b Visa. So my query is that is it legal to work in H1b Visa? Or I'll not be able to work legally?

The basis rule - return all the I-94s when you leave the country. Why is your I-94 associated with the H1B still with you? Did you read the approval notice. It will clearly say detach the I-94 and staple it to the passport. Follow the below link to return that I-94 back to CBP.

Since you have entered U.S in L2, your status is L2. You cannot work for the H1B sponsor unless a COS from L2 to H1B is filed and it gets approved or you leave the country and return back in H1B visa.
