hey throwaway, I was in a similar situation sometime ago. Fortunately or not, I got a job eventually. But I am surprised that you being worried about your visa was seen as such a pesty behavior (actually its not and I am not going to explain why either, people in such a situation would know well). The problem here is with the system. H1-Bs losing job should be given some extra time to search for a good job otherwise you would end up joining for the sake of joining. Another thing, even if you have to go back to your origin country, your H1B visa is still usable. You just need to get a job offer. Infact while you are out of US, that time period is also not counted towards your H1B time left. One last thing, go to a immigration lawyer (generally they charge $100 per hour) and discuss with them, it will give you the most authentic information about how to go around this situation. Worst case, go back to your origin country and do a startup ;).
