H1b extension filed on friday and my visa expires on today

[toughguy528]

My h1b extension was filed on sept 28th but my visa expires on sept 30th,2012.My question is do i need to get receipt date before sept 30th or is it ok even if i get receipt date after 30th to be in status.

I am in confusion now whether i have filed h1 ext on time or not.

Determine if the Form I-129 was timely filed .

Although timely filing is ordinarily required, the adjudicator has discretion to grant an extension based on an untimely application. In deciding such a case, determine the reasons for late filing and whether the reasons were beyond the alien’s control, the degree of lateness, whether there is any indication that the applicant may have violated status in some other way, whether the applicant is otherwise a bona fide nonimmigrant and whether the applicant has been apprehended and placed in proceedings by the Service.
