H1B Grace Period?

[DanielHenry]

My current H1B Visa is set to expire on May 1, 2019 and unfortunately I recently got laid off by my employer as part of massive company wide layoff. My concern is essay writer do I qualify for 60 day grace period or not. Technically I'm still on paper employed by my company till May 21st but they no longer are filing my H1B extension. How much time do I have? Thank you very much

As per regulation that came into effect in Jan 2017, H1B Visa holders can get a grace period of up to 60 days to find another job or change visa status, if their employment on H1B visa is terminated due to layoff or other unforeseen reasons, before the end of their H1B petition validity.

H1B 60 days Grace Period Meaning: The H1B 60 days grace period means that you will not be considered “out of status” for almost 2 months after your unemployment. This will give you the opportunity to look for another employment or apply for a visa change of status
