I got laid off earlier last year. Received multiple job offers, joined a company on just receipt, got an RFE and then an approval. Then subsequently the extension got approved as well. You have 60 days to get the new petition for your H1 sent, your start date can be after 60 days. Good luck with everything! It's ok to be stressed but be positive. Cheers!

Thank you! This is helpful :)

Sorry for the typos. In a bit of stress as you can imagine. :(

Someone posted that as part of the process, you are still kept on roll of the firm. If that’s the case, the 60 day rule shouldn’t apply. Just my thought and can’t confirm. Only law firm can
