Greetings!

Please help me in understanding how bad is my situation in maintaining the status.

I am on 7th year extension and 8th year extension was filed in June. As per the time lines on USCIS website, I am expecting my 8th year extension some where after September 15th.
I have receipt notice/number for 8th year extension.
My current H1B (7th year) and I-94 attached to it are valid only till September 8th. My current visa in passport already expired.

If in case, I do not get my 8th year H1b approved before September 8th, what will be the status for me? Will I be out of status?
Will the receipt notice be considered as valid document to maintain the status when I-94 is expired? Do I need to inform this to Port Of Entry as soon as my I-94 expires?
If I maintain status like that till I get H1B ext approved, and then if I go for staming in Mexico or Canada or India, will there be any problem in stamping and later at port of entry?

Thanks and regards,
Panjan
