Hello,
My H1b petition is good until 2021 but I'm getting laid off. My last official day for work with company was today. My grace period starts tomorrow. I have already started applying for jobs. I understand that I can start working for a new employer as soon as employer receives receipt for h1B petition delivery to USCIS. There are few different questions that are coming in my mind.
1. If I find a job within grace period and start working based on the receipt and the actual H1B petition gets rejected later (after 60 days from now), Will I be out of status for the time after 60 days to the day new employer receives rejection of petition? How many days will I get to wrap up things here in USA?
2. What will be the best course of action in the above mentioned situation if I want to come back to USA for work in future?
Thanks for your time!
