And it’s done .. I’m here on h1b visa. Anyone on h1b got laid off recently from Deloitte? How many days do I have? They offered me 5 weeks of severance. Does my 60 day count start after 5 weeks or from today? Who do I reach out to for all this info?

Really sorry this is happening to you. I ended up in the same boat just last week. If you want to consider next steps (legal rights etc, please DM me and I can provide you with some of the stuffs I have already taken)

Transferring h1B is ideally the best but I highly suggest exploring as many options as possible with an attorney. Also talk to different attorneys too if you can!

Any suggestions on finding good lawyers and also not blowing a ton of money?

Thanks everyone.. I got it confirmed.. it’s the last day of service provided to the employer and not the last day of the severance, if people were wondering. Also, the h1b 60 days are still valid to find a new job. You can also move to another visa with change of status if that fits your situation.

Is it severance or salary continuation? If it’s continuation, counter doesn’t start till 5 week. That’s my understanding but take legal opinion. If you are being paid a salary, company can’t justify paying you if you are not on rolls.

OP - today is my last day with 5 weeks severance. They called severance sale as salary continuation. While talking with immigration expert, they said that 60 days start tomorrow itself and not after 5 weeks. I am planning to talk with an external law firm to clarify this.

You were right D3 .. it starts on the day you discontinue and not the last day of severance

I'm so sorry OP! :( When is your last day on payroll? That would typically be your last day. You should also receive a letter from your employer confirming the last day of your employment. Typically companies don't revoke H1b application for the next 60 days, which is the "grace period". Confirm this with your immigration team.

Hello,

I moved to USA in 2017 on F1 visa. I was not selected for H1-B in the 3 years of my OPT. While my company is transferring me to Canada and can potentially get me back on L1 visa, the shifting situation is stressing me out. The thought of moving to another country in a couple of months is causing a lot of anxiety and tough luck with the lottery is making me feel depressed.

Any suggestions on how to cope with the situation? (Please be considerate in the comment) Thanks in advance!
