Hello everyone, what is the way to legally stay in the United States after my US H1B was laid off, as we all know, many large factories in the United States have laid off employees recently, and the loss of the status of staying in the United States makes everyone more panicked than losing their jobs, so what kind of method can be used to stay in the United States more legally?
We have to know that after your H1B is laid off, we have a grace period of 60 days, which is called grace period in English, and you need to find some ways to save ourselves in these 60 days, so we need to seek a better legal status to stay in the United States, so what are the methods, there are three main ones.
First, you have to do an H1B transfer, which means that you have to find a new employer within these 60 days to help you resubmit all H1B applications, of course, you may not need to draw lottery, but all applications must be resubmitted, as long as you receive such an acceptance letter from USCIS within the 60-day grace period, then you can legally stay in the United States.
The second is that there is a temporary plan to quench your thirst, you have to seek other legal status within these 60 days, such as F1, for example, O1, for example, if you have a relative who is H1, you can go H4, or you can also take F2, or even take B2 tourist status, you can.
Thirdly, there is a one-and-done solution, that is, you can directly apply for immigration status, and if you meet the conditions, you can directly apply for EB1A or NIW, if you don't meet these two items, you can also consider EB5 investment immigration under the new deal at home, because he can get a 765 EAD work card and a 131 AP card in 90 days at the earliest, which is equivalent to a small green card, and you can legally stay in the United States.
