Revocation on H1 visa if out of status

[Appa]

Hi All,

I am on H1-B visa and was working on a contract position through an employer company here. My project ended last week. My employer is looking out job for me, but no success yet in scheduling an interview.

1) Can my employer revoke my H1, if I didn’t get the job soon? What is the official time period I have?
2) If the employer revoked visa, Can I transfer it to another employer, after revoking?

Please let me know, what options I have if revoke happened?

2) If the employer revoked visa, Can I transfer it to another employer, after revoking? -- The other employer must file the petition before your last day at work with the current employer. Only then you can continuously stay in the US. OTherwise the second employer can still file, but then you will have to leave the US and return.

Please let me know, what options I have if revoke happened?

See above.

Thanks kabkaba !!

I have few more questions here;

1) Can I work with my earlier employer if my existing employer decides to revoke the visa?
2) What is the official time for the employer has to revoke the visa? How many days I could be without project?

-- Project or no, the employer needs to pay you as per LCA. If they cannot pay then they need to terminate you and then withdraw the petition. Even one day without getting properly paid makes you out of status.
