Hi, 

My previous h1b was good until 12/25/2018. Extension petition approved after RFE response on 12/28/2018 and granted for only 6 days until 12/31/2018. We received courtesy notice i797c but attoney still not received original approval notice i797A yet.

Based on assumption of 10 day grace period, my i94 is expiring on 01/10/2019.

My employer’s attorney is preparing to file a new extension before i94 expires. They are not responding to my question on what would their approach if original approval notice not received by them before sending my new extension petition to USCIS? 

Can they file a new petition based on approved receipt notice # ?

Thanks in advance
