LAYOFF - URGENT- HELP NEEDED

[allaboutsam]

Dear Lawyers, 

 

I am getting LAY-OFF from my current company as on Dec 31st 2014 and I'm on H1-B visa.

If another employee file my LCA on 22nd of December consider only 6 working in this month. Would that be an issue of filing my H1-B on January first week ? or Do I still get a buffer period of 30 or 60 days ? Kindly clarify. Your response would be highly appreciated. 

 

Thanks

There is NO "buffer period." You are out of status from the day of layoff.

If the new H1 isn't filed by then, file a COS to another status, e.g., B2. That keeps you legal.
