Hi,

I was laid off on Sept 5. My I-797 was valid until Sept 8 and that's when my employer sent withdrawal notice to USICS. I traveled to India on Sept 16. Since USCIS took some time to process withdrawal, does that mean my stay was legal till Sept 16.

Thanks!
 
Your were in illegal status from September 9, the day after your I-94 expired, until you left. How long CIS took to process employer notice is immaterial.
7 days is not going to hurt you.
