I am writing to seek urgent immigration advice following my recent termination.
Background:
I am a UK citizen and was a permanent resident in Australia before relocating to the US on an L-1A visa in June 2022, sponsored by my employer for a 5-year period.
Termination Details:
I was terminated on October 24, 2023, and my employer indicated in the termination documentation that they would inform USCIS of the withdrawal of visa sponsorship.
Concerns:
Recognising the 60-day grace period to change my non-immigrant status, leaving the country permanently within this timeframe is impractical primarily due to importing my dog from Australia. Additionally, my future plans regarding employment in the US are uncertain.
Request for Advice:
Given the time constraints, I am eager to explore available options. Is there a way to extend my stay without departing the country? Would a short-term departure with a subsequent return on an ESTA be a viable solution? what other options do I have?
