Losing your job while on an H-1B visa can be stressful, but there are options to stay in the United States. Here's a breakdown:
1. The 60-Day Grace Period:
- You have a 60-day grace period from the date of termination to either find a new H-1B sponsor, change your visa status, or leave the U.S.
- This grace period is a one-time benefit per H-1B validity period.
2. Finding a New H1B Sponsor:
- H-1B Portability: You can transfer your H-1B to a new employer without being subject to the H-1B cap (the annual limit on new H-1B visas).
