Folks I need some advice. Today I got laid off from Deloitte. They offered me 5 weeks severence or continuous salary option. Does my 60 day counter of finding the job start tomorrow (last day or service) or the counter begins after 5 weeks (last day of employment)?
Secondly, I just spoke with immigration team and they suggested me to file B2 visa while searching for job (I am on H1-b). Has anyone done that here? Some insights would be appreciated. Thanks

60 days after end of salary continuous period

It takes a long time to revoke it

As long as you paychecks r generated as per normal cycle u should be fine. 60 day start from last date of the last paycheck. Also ensure you have a Deloitte letter of employment with the actual end date. Thats all u will need.

OP I’m no immigration expert, but B2 is a non-immigration visa that does not allow dual intent to remain permanently in the US. I’d suggest you get another lawyer to confirm to be safe. We are not the client of a Deloitte immigration attorney so I would doubt if they really had in mind your best interest when they gave you any advice. Of course not that B2 can’t be used, just corroborate and confirm

Is D still doing lay-off. Thought it was done a couple weeks ago

like

Yup. Expected to go on until mid July or early August

OP - I was in your boat couple of weeks ago. There are different angles to it. Immigration lawyer told me that the conservative approach is to take the layoff date (not last employment date) as the start date for grace period to avoid any complications. On an another view, since we can show proof of pay until last employment date some times we can get away with it. With second approach it is important to make sure that the I-94 is not expired or H1-B is not revoked meanwhile. Instead of B1, I would advice you to work with a primary vendor(k-force, Tek or desi contractors to do a H1-B transfer (this is very hard in the current job market without an offer but some desi shops do it and run your payroll for money as an in-house employee) Good luck!

Hey OP,

Sorry to hear this. Could you share the lay off process ( Email contents, Email subject etc if any.) ? I have a friend who received a performance feedback invite from a partner for next week, so just want to be sure it’s not anything serious.

like

Email subject was Call with **ppd name**. There was no email body. I had a talent person included in the call. That says you are getting laid off.

B2 is for after those 60 days are complete and I think will give you at max 6 months if I am not wrong . I don’t have experience myself but have read about it on immi forums .

Is that immigration person a lawyer? Can you follow up with them about the 60 day start date question? I’ve heard different answers from this bowl, so dunno if you can get real answer here since we are not legal experts

What’s that continuous salary means?

I am assuming they will keep him/her on the payroll such that the 60 days countdown doesn’t start till that particular date

like

There was a B2 related thread that was pinned sometime back. Perfectly legit and doable.

You mean looking for jobs while B2 change of status is pending as well as after it’s approved?

I am sorry OP, which service line? I though DT was done with lay-offs

OP - Wow only 5 weeks severance!! How many years did you work at Deloitte?

1 year 10 months

I got 8 weeks and I worked for 5 years...

- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful
