How long I can stay after L1-B Visa extension denial

How long I can stay after L1-B Visa extension denial ?
I googled .... could not find clear answer anywhere.

Does USCIS notice will mention actual date? Or is that date extendible in case of genuine reason. Your input will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It depends if I-94 has already expired or not. If already expired then one should plan to leave immediately, a week to 10 days stay after denial notice is received is generally acceptable. If I-94 has not expired then typically the denial notice will say as to when you should leave.

Can you give an example of "genuine reason" to extend an illegal stay period?

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Hi Raghvi,
Thanks for your reply. Are you saying?
1) If I94 is still valid: Then denial notice will have actual last date?
2) If I94 is not valid: As you mentioned "If already expired then one should plan to leave immediately, a week to 10 days stay after denial notice is received is generally acceptable". Does this mean a grace period from the date of denial? or Do they again mention in the notice?
3) The Genuine reason like petitioner is not medically able to travel.

Thanks

1. They might. If not, one should plan to leave as soon as possible after I-94 expiry.
2. Technically there is no grace period as such. But generally a week to 10 days is considered "acceptable".
3. In that case I would advise talking to a good attorney to see if the "medical condition" can allow you to file a COS to B1/B2 or humanitarian parole.
