Laid off on H-1B with 38 days left. What are my real options?

Anonymous· 1w ago

Tech layoff hit me. 60-day grace started. Options I see: find new employer + transfer, change to B-2, enroll in school for F-1, or leave. What did you do?

Transfer is fastest if you can land an offer. The new employer can premium-process. Don't wait on the grace period clock.

B-2 change of status buys time but kills work authorization. Only do it as a last resort.
