回複：Laid off - how to keep H1 visa

Legally saying, once you get off payroll system, you loss your H1B status the same day, no grace period, however, here is some suggestion may be helpful:
1. you need to find a job ASAP;
2. When the new employer file H1B for you, it need a most recent paycheck stub to show CIS that you are in H1B status, But
3. Sometime (most time) CIS ignore 1~3 months gap of the submited paycheck stub date and the filing date, that means you may have upto 3 months to look for a job and get new H1B petition filed;
4. All the timeline above must be before the expiration date of your current H1B.
If you have spouse and your spouse is not a dependent to you, you may also consider to be a dependent to your spouse, that way will keep you legal.
