Here is my situation.
My I-94 expired in Sept 2009.
I had applied for my H1 extension in September 2009, got a RFE in December, got a denial in Feb, 2010.(as my client didn't gave me the letter). So, re-applied with premium processing. Got my new I797 till Sept 2012, but the extension of stay was denied.
In the notice of decission it states that I am out of status since Sept 2009.
Also, my visa stamping on the passport has expired long time back (Dec 2007).

Here are my questions:
1) What are my options?
I got a few opinions that, I can go to CBP office first rather then going to India for stamping. I am in Chicago btw.

2) If I go to CBP, will that resolve my problem and will they give me the new I-94? (Do we need to call and take an appointment? Didn't really found a appropriate number regarding this, but have the genreal CBP phone number.) What documents you need to carry to go to CBP?

3) Even if I get the I-94 at the CBP office does this solve all my problem completely?

Appreciate if you can shed some light or share your expereince in this regard.

Thanks,

------- What can CBP can do for you? to send you back?
2) If I go to CBP, will that resolve my problem and will they give me the new I-94?
-----You are out of status. Why the CBP will give you new I-94?
CBP is not distributing I-94. Who suggested you that option?
(Do we need to call and take an appointment? Didn't really found a appropriate number regarding this, but have the genreal CBP phone number.) What documents you need to carry to go to CBP?

3) Even if I get the I-94 at the CBP office does this solve all my problem completely?
-----You will not get I-94 from CBP as you are not on valid status.

find good lawyer and ask for your Options.
 
You have been illegally present since you received your denial notice after your I-94 expired. You should immediately contact a lawyer and follow his/her instructions. You can be detained and deported in your current situation.

You problem comes from waiting to the last minute to apply for an extension last Sept.
