My H-1B visa was recently approved.
On October 1st I will make myself available to work for my employer. I suspect based on recent events, that he might terminate after a very short time. Here's my question:
In online sources a bunch of sources talk about "Bona fide" termination as a requirement for the Employer before they can stop paying wages. However, whenever I read about termination and it's effect on employee's "status", only the word "termination" alone is typically used.
Will I
1) remain in H-1B status until there has been a "Bona fide" termination; or
2) remain only in H-1B status until the employer (e.g.) tells me I'm laid off and stops giving me work (Not a bona fide termination).
How long do I stay in H-1B status?!
