After your point 4 why you did not go to US consulate for H1B visa stamping and enter US with I797B?

No as my VISA for expired on  15th April 2013, and before that Company applied for extension , but i got denied response on 6th Nov 2013

and  came to India on 17th Nov 2013.

But my company say if you go for stamping they will reject it. so we need to appeal for denied for extension to stay.

I am confused here. You said in your initial post your petition was approved but extension was denied? What do you mean by that? If you mean that you received approval of petition but received I797 without an I94 you just need to exit and enter US with a valid H1B visa.

Yes ,

 

In my I-797B its say 

Notice Type: Aproval Notice

Class:H1B

Valid from :10/30/2013 to 04/14/2016

Consulate:Mumbai

 

But i don't know why my company say " if you go for stamping they will reject it." So they file another H1b request in PP  "Classification sought: H1B ".

There i got RFE , asking for payslip only.After that 15th day calender almost over i have't got any response as its showing "Acceptance" status in USICS web site

It is very surprising that your employer advised you not to go for stamping with the fear of it being rejected. Wait for USCIS decision. Start looking for an employer who is confident in his/her activities.

As i mention my visa get expired on 15th April 2013,  denied response came on 6th Nov 2013 and came back to India on 17th Nov 2013.

 

Nov 6th 2013 denied notice

 

In my I-797B its say 

Notice Type: Aproval Notice

Class:H1B

Valid from :10/30/2013 to 04/14/2016

Consulate:Mumbai

 

Question:

1:Did i break any law staying upto 17th Nov 2013 as i get denied notice on 6th Nov 2013.?

2:Do i need to take approval for "out of status" from USCIS?

3:How comfortably i go for stamping with above 1-797B notices.(Which i got 6th Nov 2013 as denied notice)?

Only COS part of H1B petition was denied and not H1B.

 

1. You should be fine.

2. Not necessary.

3. Should not be a problem as long as you have all required documents.

But my employer  say you are in "out of status". So we need a approval on your "out of status". That's why they file new H1B to clear my out of status.

When you are out of status in US you just need to exit and enter US with a new valid visa and approval notice. There is no need to file a new H1B petition. I would suggest you to talk to an independent immigration attorney.
