What steps can H1B visa holders take if they are laid off and need to find a new job to maintain their status?

You have a 60-day grace period to find a new job. Look for a new employer that agrees to file an H1B transfer petition. You can also change to to B2 visitor status, to allow more time.

They have a 60-day grace period to find a new job, transfer their H1B to a new employer, or change their visa status. Networking, consulting immigration attorneys, and updating their resumes immediately can help expedite the process.
