L2 EAD is dependent on L1 primary approval. Until you have approved EAD you can not start working. Some unsaid truths are

1. Few people thinks if they have submitted L2 EAD renewal application then they can work even if EAD is expired.

-------->
It is false. You are not supposed to work and tell your employer to put you on LOP.


2. There is automatic 180 extension allowed once you submit renewal application and you did not get response before current EAD expires.
-------->
True but applicable to certain categories only. Mostly L2 dependent are not allowed.
