Guys mero mavni ko ship date was next month and it has been delayed until next year due to background check. So, here is my story. I am in h1b with a desi consultancy for 3 yrs inrecently lost my job two months ago and my consulting is still running my paycheck for 40 hrs. So,now its really getting difficult to find jobs in IT then it was before and im tired of moving and unstable life so i have decided IT is not really worth the stress or the whole corporate job dont seem to entice my mind anymore since mentally and emotinally it has damage staying away from family. The stress of saving 2500 a month and life has no real purpose or meaning in long run. Being out of job and exploring life has made me come to this realization, and all my friends circle also has got over this idea and making big taking risk with their own start ups. I would rather make less but be around family so decided to do army and make use of benefits and do small start ups or take a break for a while. Now my question is i dont want to be out of status until i ship,what are my options can i find h1b transfer job to stay in status dont wanna go f1 for 6 months. Do you know what i can do. I stay in LA? What are the best option to be legal until next 6 months staying in LA? Is marketting and starting all over in new city the only option i have?
