Laid off on F1-OPT


Recommended Posts

My wife is currently on F1-OPT with EAD valid until 15th July 2020. She has been laid off due to COVID-19 pandemic with only 30 days of unemployment remaining. She has already lost 2 months (60 days) out of 90 days of the total unemployment period. Can anyone please provide information about following.

1. While I understand she only has 30 days to find the job, will she get any grace period of 60 days to leave the country after her status expires?

2. I am currently on H1-B visa. Will we have enough time to switch her status from F1 to H4?

3. Any other option?

Thank you for the help.
