Hi - I am on H1B visa and got laid off from my previous job in April. My 60th day will be June 28th. I got another offer from a company who has agreed to do an H1B transfer for me but it will NOT be done by June 28th.

What are my options? Do I have to go back to India and come back after H1B transfer is approved?

If your H1b is submitted prior to June 28th, I believe you would be able to stay until 240 days while the application is being processed. If you don't get your application approved in 240 days or it gets denied you would be considered out of status then. Confirm this with the employer's immigration team and get their input on next steps
