You have already crossed 240 Days limit and are accumulating illegal presence. Contact USCIS immediately and take an infopass appointment.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thank you for the reply. I checked with my attorney, he is saying that 240 days limit will be only for H1 and L1 not for their dependants . Is it correct ?

Yes, seems 240 days is only for stopping work while awaiting L1/H1 extension decision, but you should still work with your lawyer to get a info pass appointment with USCIS and see whats going on 7 Months is too long a time.
