I-94 Expired and L1 A Extension Denied

[Dhamodharan Krishnan]

Hi. My I-94 expired in Feb 2020.  My L1A Extension got into an RFE in March 2020.

My Lawyer has responded for the RFE in May 2020. The RFE got rejected in Jun 1st week. 

My Lawyer has suggested for an appeal option. If the appeal decision is also denial, will it badly affect my  L1 A petitions in the future?

Please advise if I have to leave peacefully and attempt later.

I have one follow up question on the above. Will I be considered out of status while i am waiting to file for an appeal.

Should I stop working soon after my L1 A denial notice is given? Can  I continue to work if my lawyer is planning to appeal?

Does the company have no say in the matter? What do they want you to do?

An appeal doesn't give you any rights to stay. The lawyer should have told you that.

And on what basis would the appeal be?

You can do an appeal and it should not have any impact on your future petitions. You will need a good reason for the appeal or else you are just wasting time.

You can stay but can't work while the appeal is pending.

You can do appeal and stay while it is being processed but you need to have very good and strong reason to appeal and this appealing will not have any negative impact on your future. But appeal gets negative response you need to leave ASAP.

Without appeal also need to leave ASAP.
