URGENT: CAP GAP Terminated with H1-B Approved.

[chandu1225]

Hello,

 

I am in a really bad situation. Need your help.

My Opt Ext ended July 2014. I got H1 B approved and is about to start on Oct 1 2014.

I got laid off on Aug  2014. I am on CAP GAP.Previous employe gave 3 week notice period it is to come to end until Sept 9 2014.

I spoke to some of my friends and some consultancies and lawyers immediately and they said I can be in US and look for a job until 1 month after Sept 9th. i.e. Oct 9th

I have to apply for h1 transfer if I find an employer and it will taken care.

 

But I spoke to a lawyer today and he said I have to go to India after 9th or join a course in a university. I am really panicked. What is my situation after Sept 9th? Can I be in US? Can I look for a job?

Please help. It is very urgent.

Find another employer, don't think about joining in some fake schools.

You will be out of status from Spt 9th, 2014. Either find another employer, COS to other valid status or leave US.

@Rahul. Yeah I am also of that mindset. If worse case then I will go home. So do you know how long I can be here?
