Laid off from work. I have both H1B and B2 (tourist visa). I want to extend my stay in US.
What are my options ?
1) Can I extend my H1B status beyond 60 days without an employer due to this special situation ?
2) Can I change my status from H1B to B2 by filing i539 online ?
(2) looks more possible than (1) for sure
If someone has insights about (1) please let me know.
