They typically have a 60-day grace period to find another employer to file a new H-1B petition.

If they cannot find a new sponsor, they must change status (to visitor, student, etc.) or leave the U.S.

Some choose to apply for permanent residency through other family- or employment-based options.

Staying beyond the grace period without status can lead to unlawful presence, affecting future immigration benefits.
