Hi,

Is there a time limit on how long can one stay in US while the
extension of status petition is pending? The extension was filed
timely before the expiration of initially authorized stay.

What if the person leaves the US before the case is adjudicated? Does
the stay after the expiration of I-94 count as illegal?

If for some reason the petition gets denied, I understand one has to
leave ASAP. Does the period between expiration of I-94 and the
decision count toward any illegal presence?

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Smart

You can stay while waiting for the decision. You can assume your
application to be approved during this time period, which means that
you cannot stay behond the period you requested.
You shouldn't have any trouble if you leave before the case is
adjudicated
