Layoff while in H1B
Login in to Rate this Post:     0       ?        
Hello Sajha Friends,

I recently got my H1B approval notice for the company I have been working for almost past 2 years as a full-time software engineer. But due to its internal financial reason, the company had to lay off some of its employees and unfortunately I was one of them. I got laid off yesterday with effective immediate date which means I did not get any time to arrange myself for alternatives. What are the immediate options available for me to retain my H1 status in US? How long do I have time before I go out of status?

Looking for any help, ideas or suggestions.
