USCIS allows a 60-day grace period to find new sponsorship or leave the U.S.

If a new employer files a petition within that period, they can stay and continue working once approved.

If no petition is filed, the worker must depart before overstaying.

In some cases, switching to another visa category (like B2) may buy more time.
