Will the 60 days grace period depend on the company or is it one grace period for an individual/life time?

[Srisha Belur]

I recently due to layoff, went through my 60 days grace period, but I was able to secure an employment in another company. my questions, if I face another layoff will I have another 60 days grace period from the new company? if not, will the candidate be asked to go immediately back to India without any time for preparation?

Yes, but keep in mind that your transfer/approval needs to be complete.

With another layoff you would get a 60 day grace period again, as long as the H1 for the company has been approved.

An H-1B nonimmigrant worker is eligible for one 60 day grace period for each authorized H-1B validity period. As such, if the individual is terminated from Employer A, begins the 60 grace period, and is then re-hired by employer A on the same H-1B petition, then the individual is not eligible for another 60 grace period on this petition. However, if the individual is terminated from Employer A, begins the 60 day grace period, and is then hired by Employer B on a new petition, OR rehired on a new petition by Employer A, then the individual is eligible for another 60 grace period.

Every case is different. Therefore, prior to taking any specific action it is advisable to speak with an experienced U.S. immigration attorney as there are nuances to any situation and approach. https://www.murthy.com/client-services/hire-us/
