It seems some online glitch. Wait for some form of notice in mail...

Don't read too much into the online updates, wait for the approval notice. You should get the notice in a week or so. Online updates are just a thing to keep track, they are not really useful.

Hi, I have received backdated approval from uscis and received Reopen notice also.

Both approval and reopen notice were dated with notice date of feb 4th 2020.

 

Approval notice(Backdated), Approved with I797A with approval dates of 10/01/2019-12/16/2019.I-94 expiry date was 12/26/2019. I have received approval notice on Feb 11th 2020.

Reopen notice, Reopen notice says we are reviewing your petition as Motion to reopen or motion to reconsider. We will notify you in writing if we made any decision or if we need any additional information. Received approval notice on Feb 15th 2020.

In reopen notice they did not mentioned any thing about approval decision. I have not received any update regarding approval after approval notice received.
 

I reached my school DSO regarding SEVIS status, they confirmed SEVIS has been terminated since petition approved with I797A.

 

looks like i am out of status, employer/attorney reached regarding approval decision and reopen case, even Tier-2 officer unable to answer the case status. What options do i have for current situation. Please advise. Thanks

Best thing might be to leave the country asap and apply for a H1 extension and come back with a new visa to clear the mess.

Hi, my attorney team suggested not to leave the country, since USCIS sent backdated approval and notice date was feb 4th 2020, they are going to file premium extension with npt(nunc pro tunc) if npt get approved i can stay in usa legally. My concern is since we have received approval notice on february 11th 2020, did our legal team made any delay to apply for extension ?

Yes, if they are able to file NPT and get it approved then you are good. It takes them time to get the LCA and documentation done for filing H1. 3 weeks is the least I have seen.
