Hi
I am sorry if this question has been already answered, I tried searching the forum but I did not come across concrete information.
I have been laid off by my company, they have given me notice of two weeks. I am on H1B and have an approved I-140.
It is not easy to find a new employer willing to transfer H1B as I am finding it the hard way, even with contracting companies they require client letter before transferring H1B visa.
An unconfirmed source told me that the new law passed in 01/16/2016 gives us a grace period of 60 days to find a new employer for transferring H1B. What I need to understand is, when I apply for H1B transfer during this 60 days grace period will my H1B be approved with consular processing (since i wont have latest paystubs) or will it be approved as it is done normally, meaning i wont have to step out of the country to visit consulate.
Or do I have to file for H1B transfer before the termination/last date at my current job to avoid H1B consular approval
Your reponse in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
