>>> As long as the extension is filed before your current I-94 expiry date, you can legally stay and continue to work for the employer until you receive a decision on your case. However, if the extension gets denied, then the time spend in U.S after the last I-94 expiry date will be considered to be illegal stay. If the extension is approved, then you are all good.

Under which uscis law this is permissible legally ??
>>> If you want the specific law, then you need to consult an immigration attorney.
