Please help - I 94 extension?

I have filed for a O petition and it is pending. I am on a H1-B that’s expiring end of this month 01/2008. My lawyer says I can stay in the US after that, until I hear from the O visa (since I have a pending petition). Is this right? Do I need to file for a I 94 extension?

Please let me know.
Thank you.

If you your lawyer filed a change of status, the new I-94 will appear on the approval notice. You don't have to file an extension of I-94.

Thanks, I hope my O visa gets approved or else I am in trouble. Thanks again.
