H1 extension applied, no receipt number, I94 Expiry - is this valid status

[rkatta2011]

If H1 extension applied (july 1st), received at USCIS(july 2nd), but did not get receipt number (as now it is taking 60 days)
and then I-94 expired (july 30). In this case, My employer said , we are good to stay and work.
Are we legal to stay and work.??

Yes you can work provided USCIS receives the new H1B application before your I-94 expires.
