Thanks Sri You are out of status from the day you were laid off. If you recently lost your job you can apply for a COS to B2 and look for a job. Unfortunately approved labor will not give you extension beyond 6 years on H1B. Link to comment
omshiv Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 start looking for jobs immediately but before doing that do COS to B1/B2. Your new employer will have to restart your GC process. Link to comment

You need I140 for H1 ext, not just approved labor. Link to comment
