Laid off while in india

[renewal]

Recently my employer gave me the news that they are downsizing due to covid situation. My last date with this employer is June 26 2020, i am in India and International flights doesnt resume until July 1st week. what all my option to travel back to US and utilize the 60 day grace period to find a new job or atleast settle things in US. I still have apartment and other things there.

Since my official last day is 26th June. if i travel to US in July 1st week, will i have any issue in the port of entry. i do have valid visa till 2021. Kindly provide your suggestions

f i travel to US in July 1st week, will i have any issue in the port of entry -- if they call your employer they will your alst date was June 26 and you will get into troubles.

Best action, use your friends help to settle things in USA. Be in USA if you can by June 24 and hope CBP will not contact your employer and you can land in USA.

There is no way that flights are going to resume even in July from India to US for non immigrants.

I know one of my friends friend travelled from Delhi to NY recently, check it out if there are any such flights. If you have a valid I-94 and visa you should be ok to travel later but there is a small risk associated, so why to take chances find out the options to travel asap. GOOD LUCK!

You can't travel with the old I797 and visa after June 26th. You don't get the 60 day grace period if you are not in US. 

You need to find a new job and come back, or use your friends to cleanout the apartment.

You can absolutely not travel to the US on the H1 visa after June 26. Doing so would be immigration fraud and could result in you being banned permanently.

Find a new job, and when the H1 for the new job is approved you can travel to the US.
