EAD - Changing E2 Visa to L2

Hi,

I am currently working in the USA on an E2 Visa and my wife has the E2 spouse visa. She has an EAD and is also working.

My employer now needs to change my Visa from E2 to L1. So my wife will also need to change her dependent Visa to L2. After changing to this new Visa, what will happen with my wife's existing EAD? Will it remain valid until she gets a new EAD for which she will apply immediately after obtaining the L2? As this will take 3-4 months, she can't afford to be without valid EAD to keep her job.

Thanks!
