H1B Transfer Approved - Consulate notified is not blank

[vabhi]

my scenario
->I got laid off on Mar 3
->H1B is revoked on Mar 15th
->I searched for new employer and Receipt date from new Employer is Mar 18th
->I was told that i can work on receipt number, so i started working from April 4th
->Got an RFE on Apr 1st
->new employer answered RFE on June 27th
->got an email from uscis as approved
->email says consulate notified as hyderabad and also has my current I94

questions
-> when consulate notified is not blank, is it true that i need go out of country to get the stamping again
-> are there any cases where consulate notified is not blank and still got I797A with I94?

Please help
