Hi,
My mother have 10 year mutliple entry visa. She visited here two times so far (first visist during 2001 and second one during 2003). On her second visit, we applied for extension and got denied after I-94 expiry date. She went to India within 10 days. From the information on path2usa and several sites, her visa is void now. But I called Chennai consulate and they told us that they have nothing to do. As of they concerned, 10 year visa have been granted. It has to taken care by USCIS and port of entry. Does anybody have experience like this. I wanted how people are coming with 10/5 year multiple entry visa after extension denial. Thanks in advance.

This may not always true, The generic rule is applicable for visitors overstayed for months or years.
Overstaying for few days/weeks doesn't mean that visa is Void.
