kumarkkk Posted April 26, 2023 Report Posted April 26, 2023 I need some guidance here: -I've approved I-140 -My H-1B extension is in progress I got laid off this month and my current H-1B (I-94) is valid only for 30 days after my last employment day. My H-1B extension is in-progress but it may be revoked by my employer after my last working day without being approved. If the new petition gets revoked even before it has been approved, do I still get 60 days H1B grace period after my last employment day ? I'm getting all kind of confusing answers on this. Kindly clarify the same. TIA! Quote
newacct Posted April 26, 2023 Report Posted April 26, 2023 No. Your grace period lasts until 60 days after cessation of employment, or until your I-94 expires, whichever is sooner. In this case, your grace period will last until your I-94 expiration date. Quote
Zodiac System Posted April 26, 2023 Report Posted April 26, 2023 Request your current employer to revoke the extension after it has been approved. Quote
JoeF Posted April 27, 2023 Report Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Your grace period is only until the last day on the I-94. The rule is very simple: 60 days or the expiration date of the I-94, whichever is shorter. Edited April 27, 2023 by JoeF Quote
