是6月5日被拒的，接到被拒信後6月5日就lay off了。請問這種情況就沒有任何了grace period？
-Correct. Because your old I-94 expired on April 1, your H-1 status also expired on that date. If your new employer did not file H-1 transfer for you, you would only have 10-day grace period, not 60 days due to I-94 expiration, and that means you had to leave US within 10 days.

Because your new employer filed H-1 transfer before the old I-94 expired, you were legal to stay and work in US during the H-1 transfer pending even if you did not have a legal status (i.e. your H-1 status was pending) after April 1. Unfortunately, your H-1 transfer was denied on June 6, and that means from the denial date, you lost the right for legal stay and work. Because you did not have the H-1 status due to H-1 transfer denial, you of course did not have H-1 grace period after you were laid off by the new employer. So, you must leave US as soon as possible as I said in my above reply.

You can consult an immigrant lawyer if you do not believe what I said here.
