I wasn’t aware an H1-B holder was subject to deportation as soon as they lost their job.
I thought losing your job created a weird legal grey area, where you were allowed to stay in the country and look for work, but couldn’t reenter if you left.
- samspenc 5y agoThe clock starts ticking as soon as a H1B holder loses their job, so they have to find a job ASAP before the deadline. I can't remember the exact number but I think it is 30-60 days max after a layoff. And if they don't get a job by then, they have to leave the country, otherwise they are basically an illegal immigrant at that point (overstayed beyond permitted visa), and no company that wants to now sponsor them for a H1B can hire them.
