Your real options inside the grace period

A few paths people use. One, a new employer files an H-1B transfer, and H-1B portability can let you start on filing. Two, change of status to F-1 to study, to a dependent status, or to B-2 to buy limited time while you plan. Three, if you were far enough along, lean on a pending or approved green card. Each has tradeoffs and strict timing, so map them before you need them. Which option are you researching?
