hopesr,
H1 is a document which allows you to work. From you post, it seems you also have an EAD. An EAD is also used for working. This means, if you have a EAD, you really don't even need H1 anymore.
I don't know when you got your EAD, but if you had an EAD in Sept 2002 (when you applied for H1 exnt), then you did not even need to apply for H1 extension. Anyway, since I am not sure about how many years you have been on H1, and when you got EAD, and other things, all I can say is that if you have an EAD, you can work, and you dont need an H1.
