Hi,can anyone help me in the below situation?
My wife is on h1.
Her current firm laid off today. She was planning to quit and join another organisation in jan and her h1 transfer was already done and approved. In this situation, her end of current employment is on Dec 15, and new employment starts on Jan 3rd.
As h1 transfer is approved, does she need to do anything more? Additionally, as I am on h4 ead I m not sure if this impacts me at all (less than 60 day grace)

She should be good to join on Jan 3rd, as she’s within 60 days period to start new employment.
She can request the new org for a early join date, if not it’s ok too.

You can post your question on avvo.com and you get free basic immigration answers.
Good luck

I don’t think it will impact as your H4 is dependent on her H1, which is valid until 60 days after end of employment.

Thank you

It should not impact you. It less than 60 days. For more information you can directly reach out to USCIS.

Thank you

Since it’s under the 60 day limit, nothing to worry about for both of you! If she’s getting a fat severance, you just got lucky.

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?
