  • H1 -B transfer

    Hi All,

    I have been laid off. I am in the process of finding another job. At that time, I will file for H1-B transfer. But I am not sure how soon I will be able to find another job. So how long can I wait in my current H1-B before I find another job ?. I don't want to be out of status. I would greatly appreciate your responses.

    Thanks,
    -- K.

    The law is very clear that you are considered out of status once you are laid off from your job, but the enforcement of that provision is very lax. You can find another job and have them sponsor your extension and begin working with the company immediately upon filing.
