H1B denied - next steps ? unlawful presence ? out of status ?

Recommended Posts

My i-94 expired Dec-31-2017. 
Extension was applied Dec-19-2017 

Converted to premium processing before 240 days in Aug -2018, got an RFE and submitted response in Nov 
Dec-6-2018 got a denial 

Question is 
1. Since when my unlawful presence is counted ? 
2. Since when am I out of status ? 
3. How many days I have to leave the country ?

Hi

1# From the date your I-94 expirey to denial date / current date is unlawaful stay.

2# when your company recieves hard copy or from the denial date

3# immediately 1-2 weeks if you don’t have valid I-94

as per news from online, if your unlawful stay is more than 180 days, there might be a possibility of barring couple of years to enter into US**

** may not 100% correct, check with your attorney.

i am also in same boat.

my visa expired in July 2018, petition denied in dec 2018. In process to leave US

i am looking for answers if anybody re entered into US after their earlier unlawful stay?  Was there any issue while filing petition/visa or POE?

 

Thanks
