If the statistics are 90% find new work, then by definition, it was not against all odds.

Laid-off non-immigrant visa holders usually have only two weeks to find a new job. So the comparison odds here are the percentage of the overall population that find new employment within two weeks of being laid off. I’m guessing that’s less than 90%.

  It's a 60 day window for another employer to file. So you need to have another job lined up with the new employer submitting paperwork within 60 days.

    Not exactly, the H-1s are valid for 6 years from the date of issue, and you can re-capture all time spent outside the US. There's a 60 day grace period where you can do your job search from within the US (prior to 2017 I believe you had to get out immediately and do your job search from abroad) but you can file for a new cap-exempt H-1B for the remaining balance of time - plus recapture all time spent outside the US even on holiday - up to 6 years from the date you got it. [edit] Actually as of 2017, there's no time limit to apply for recapture. So if you came to the US on an H-1B, worked for 1 year, then you can apply for a new cap-exempt H-1B for the balance of the 5 years remaining at any time in the future.

  Not a lawyer: It's actually 60days, plus if the company gives you a notice (60days), it's actually 120 days. Still not a lot, but way better than two weeks.

it's about the speed in which they have to find new jobs 90% find new work sure, but it not rarely takes longer then what a H1-B visa would allow
