  • CAP GAP- H1B petition approved laid off - how to maintain status ?

    Hello - I think I am in a very strange situation and need help in maintaining status. I've an H1B visa approved for the FY2014 and it was supposed to become effective from Oct 1 2013. I am currently on CAP GAP as my OPT EAD expired on June 10 2013. Unfortunately, my company was downsizing and I was laid-off. My last working day was Aug 2 2013 but my pay roll will be running through Sep 27 2013. I am not sure if my employer has already revoked my H1B petition but I am sure that will happen only after Sep 27.

    1) what is my current status ? should i consider sep 27 or Aug 2 the date when I go out of status ?
    2) What happens to my H1B cap exempt ? Since my h1B petition is approved, can my future employer transfer my existing H1B petition ?
    3) How much time do I have before I go out of status ?
    4) what are my options to maintain my status ? will I get the standard 60 day grace period after the OPT ?

    Really appreciate any help here !!
