Hi,

I am in a crunch situation. I got fired by my employer this week and my last working day is 11/22 (20 days from now). I am on H1B (I-797). I have to attend my brother's wedding on 11/19 in India. Here are my questions -

1) Is it safe to go to India, get stamping done and come back to the US before 11/22? Note that I'm theoretically an employee of my company till 11/22. I booked air tickets, visa stamping appt long back.

2)Some great folks on this forum advised that I can do COS to B2 to buy some time.... it's the best news I heard lately! So, can I file for B2 I-539 on 11/22 after I return?

Thanks in advance for your valuable advice!

I certainly plan to do that. Discussing the options in this forum makes me more prepared when I talk to the lawyer. I can then ask all the right questions. Isn't that the purpose of these forums? these are not the replacements for lawyers; but helps our discussions with lawyers more productive.
