How does the clock work when you lose a job on h1b? Can you try finding a job and accept it after 2 months are over?

If you're not moving to another status (H-4 or B1/B2), your grace period of 60 days is all you get. My husband's company recently laid off the entire US team of which many were on H-1s. For everyone, getting interviews took a week to ten days. The whole interview process took 4-5 weeks and then you get a verbal offer, a written offer, LCA gets posted and after it is certified your H1 is filed which has to be before the 60 day period.

If you don't have backup, you have to hustle day and night and sign an offer within the first three or four weeks to maintain your status. If not, the company that laid you off usually pays for a one way flight to your home country.

So in this case this is not an offshore company. How would they know if One continues trying and actually gets a job after 60 days?

Understood, thank you so much!
