You mean you got an I-797B approval for the petition with no extension of status (instead of an I-797A)? Did your company not apply for extension of status with your petition? Did they apply after your previous status expired? Did you leave the US while the application was pending? Otherwise it seems odd that your extension of status would be denied.

Ans: Yes.

If you stayed after the date on your I-94 without a pending extension of status application at that time, you triggered INA 222(g) which means your visa is void and you must apply for US visas in your country of nationality from now on.

It means you can only apply for US visas in India for the rest of your life.

Final question,
Actually my I94 got expired on 1st Sept, and I got approved I797B on 4th Jan so How long i can stay in US before i go for stamping.

None. You were supposed to leave on Sept 1 if you didn't have a pending application at that time.
