Q1. I was laid off a month ago and my company has informed me that they sent INS a letter revoking my H1B petition. What happens if I find another H1B employer in the meantime?

A. The INS has typically been taking several months to process H1B revocation notices, which means that, as a practical matter, the revocation of the H1B petition may not appear in the INS system for several months. However, this is merely a general statement and not official INS policy. One should therefore make efforts to find another job as soon as possible and have the new employer sponsor the H1B employee for the H1B petition at the earliest opportunity. One may encounter problems without the availability of current pay stubs as proof of continuing, valid H1B status. One may not be able to obtain an H1B extension of stay and may be required to travel abroad to obtain a new H1B visa or, at the very least, obtain a new I-94 card with H1B status upon re-entry to the U.S.

Sorry, but your trip just got cut short. Once your employer cancels your visa (which they usually do at the time of termination), you are in the country illegally and are subject to deportation.

Happy travels.

easily H-1Bs do no longer have a "grace era" to leave the country. A conservative view (the most secure way) is that the man ought to leave in the present day. i am going to quote: If an H-1B worker voluntairly terminate his or her employment, an company isn't responsible for the fee of go back transportaion in yet another united states (8 CFR 213.2(h)(4)(iii)(E)). The company's criminal duty for submit-termination fee of wages below the ACWIA no-benching provisions is reported at AM 7.4.8.2, "Non-producitve status and the "no-benching" requirement". Such an worker ought to, in spite of the undeniable fact that, leave united states on the finest day of employment with the sponsoring company, until eventually he or she has secured the H-1B sponsorship of yet another company or in the different case replaced immigration status. It is going on later to bypass into element about the grey section: One situation of retaining H-1B status is that the worker keeps in the employment relationship with the corporate, as defined in the H-1B petition. Technically, then, if the employment relationship terminates the H-1B nonimmigrant will "fall out of status" and may nicely be removed from united states. in spite of the undeniable fact that USCIS has the authority to settle for and approve application for extension of stay or replace of status even in such situations, that authority is fantastically discretionary, and is exercised in undemanding words on a case-by ability of-case foundation.
