joshuah81 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 My company is in the process of executing a severance agreement with Termination Date as Mar 31st. Currently, I have my H-1B extended for 3 years until 2021 based on approved I-140. Do I get 60 day grace period or how long is the Grace Period, so I can find another job within this Period ? Does the New H1B for the New Job needs to be lottery based or it will be just a regular extension petition ? Please let me know. Thank you. Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 The grace period is 60 days from layoff. A new H1 would not need to go through the lottery. Link to comment
NotAnAttorney Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 You have grace period for 60 days after termination date. Any new employer could file a cap-exempt ( would not go for lottery)for H1B within this time, so that you will be able to continue to stay. If a H1-B is not filed within these 60 days, you will have to move out of country. Link to comment
ap_reddy Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 You'll get minimum of 60 days or I-94 expiry date , in your case you'll get 60 days from date of your termination. No lottery needed. Link to comment
