Layoff and H1 withdrawal

[tssg82]

I was laid off yesterday and I got a letter from HR service saying that the rule is to withdraw H1 on the day of termination date and will be out of status.

But, I already another employer filed my H1B under premium process just before layoff and got receipt number and waiting for results.

1. Am I out of status ?

2. If first employer file my H1 with-draw, how soon it effect ? What will be the process to with drawn ?

I am really in frustration and confusing. Please help me to give some suggestions.

2. It has no connection to you.

Thank you for your response:

While old one is in the process of withdrawn and new new get approval, is this impact on my extension of stay (EOS) and I-94 issuance.

A timely filed EOS while the previous I94 was valid gives you 240 days of time until they decide. That only matters if you were actually getting paid by the previous company and hence kosher.
