The 60-day grace period, explained clearly

If you are laid off on H-1B, you generally have a grace period of up to 60 days, or until your I-94 expires, whichever comes first, to take action. During that window you can have a new employer file a change of employer petition, change to another status, or prepare to depart. The clock is real and short, so the day you get the news is the day to start, not the day you finish processing it. Did you know about this before you needed it?
