H1b layoff • 7 options to stay in USA when laid-off on H1B

[@pranjalchaudhary5842]

Hi, I have an approved H1-b visa, but recently, I got laid off, I am looking into new employment, but it might take some time, what is the best approach here ? Lets say my termination date is 15 December, and I get new offer on 22nd of December, how long would it take for me start working again ?

Would the same case apply to L1B visa holders?

Hey that was a nice explanation I have a question. I already crossed the grace period but my employer have not terminated me, for many reason I lost the projects during this time like project went on hold etc. I have 2 months left I have 2 semesters left to complete my EMBA I was ex student to in the school, can I change my visa status From h1 to F1 (day1 -cpt) If I apply for petition, will uscis approve it or they ask supporting document??? What document they may ask?

Hi, what about the WARN act? Companies like Microsoft and Meta usually keep people on payroll for 2-4 months. In that case, will the grace period be 2 months/60 days or 4 months (2 months payroll + 2 months grace period after payroll ends)? Thanks

Without looking at the specifics of the employment termination agreement, it’s hard to discuss specifics. Typically the 60-day period starts on the last day one was employed, i.e., the last day on which one was paid.
