B1 extension

[riteshosta]

I have a tricky situation: suppose I have applied for I94 extention on B1 .. to say date X and and I havent got the approval\rejection by that date.

what I am suppose to do, Should I wait(7-10 more days ?) for the approval/rejection letter past date X ,
or should I leave US before date X without any approval/rejection letter.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Foreign nationals visiting the United States on a B-1 Business Visa or on a B-2 Tourist Visa are issued an I-94 form by a United States immigration officer upon entry into the country. The I-94 Form is a small white card which displays the bearer's arrival date and location of entry into the United States. It also shows the date by which the bearer must depart the United States. Travelers on B-1 Business Visas and B-2 Tourist Visas are usually allowed to stay in the United States for a period of up to six months, with the possibility of extension for up to six additional months. However, this is contingent upon the approval of the extension application by the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, formerly INS).
