Hi all,
I have some questions regarding changing my status from H1B to B2. Currently, I am still working under H1B visa, but I am planning to quit my current job and return to my home country in a month time. However, I want to travel for like 2 months in the United States before heading back to my country.
In conjunction with this scenario, I think that I will need to apply for change of status from H1B to B2 in order to remain my legal status while traveling inside USA. I have browsed through the USCIS website and found that I can do the change of status by filing I-539. I heard that I will be out of status after 10 days of quitting my job. To avoid this, it seems to me that I should file a I-539 application before I resign my job so that I can use the 'grace' period from the I-539 application to stay legally in the States. Is this the right track and way to extend my stay in the States after I quit my job? Any advices from you all will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
