Hello All,
My company is letting me go and 10/03/2012 (two days from now) would be my last day at work. I have found a new job and there are sponsoring my H1-B as well, the process is yet to start. The new company's lawyer said I have two options until the new H1-B is approved.
1) Leave USA & then obtain new H-1B visa in India at U.S. consulate or
2) File application for I-539 to continue here on B-2 tourist visa and await approval of new H-1B.
Are these the only two options? What I had read in many other forums was that although there is not grace period if the transfer application is done within two to three weeks from the termination date there should not be any problem. Can any one please confirm this? Also what other options do I have?
Thanks,
