If your I-94 has expired you should leave immediately. If it has already expired on 01-Jun-2012 you probably already have 240 days of out of status period and should stop working altogether.

After denial notice and after the date mentioned in the denial notice by which you should leave US, the DHS can initiate deportation proceeding if you dont voluntarily leave. You will soon start having trouble reneweing your lease, insurances, licenses etc as you are accumulating illegal stay as you neither have a visa nor I-94.

Even with all this if you decide to stay illegally its your choice. It may not be immediate legal problem but the longer the out of status and illegal period the lesser your chance of getting any US visa in the future.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
