Bissa Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 (edited) I am on H1B with approved i-140 in EB3. My stamped i-94 expired in 2023 and extension is approved in Feb till Aug 2026. I am laid off on May 21, 2024 and my last payroll was ran on May 31, 2024. The paystub says the date from May 16 - May31 Ques 1 : My grace period starts from May 22 or June 1st? Ques 2 : I have some interview lined up with hiring somewhere in August. I see bleak chances of i-129 filed before July 31 . Is there any way I can extend the grace period? Or do I have to go on B1/B2 through i-539? Ques 3 : Suppose I go to B1/B2 and then H1B, what are potential issues I may face in future in stamping? Will I lose the drop-box waiver due to this?

Zodiac System Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 (edited) Ans 1: To be on the safe side, consider May 21 as your last working day. Your grace period starts from May 22. Ans 2: File for B1/B2 before the grace period expires. Ans 3: Check out the website to see if you qualify for dropbox stamping. Good Luck. Edited July 1 by Zodiac System Quote Link to comment
