@OP - Similar thing happened to me at Deloitte last year. No notice and they just terminated me when I came back from vacation. Totally unexpected and I had not even finished year end review etc. Think business was just dipping in our group.

Anyways I was on a H1B, was looking earlier but ramped by networking very aggressively. Got 3 job offers. The companies usually apply consular visa for which you might get RFE as well. You will have to go out and comeback in (I did it in Mexico).

There is also no said rule about the 60 days. It is a myth cooked up on websites and forums. You can technically and legally stay till date of expiration of your visa, but lawyers usually don't recommend it. This is a very grey area. EY has to give you access to an attorney and a flight ticket back home. Speak to lawyer and strategize best steps. Have all your questions consolidated!

Don't worry too much and trust things will workout. Sometimes these guys are assholes in they way they deal with the employment of people on visas , but we just got to deal with it I guess.

Good luck and please ping if you have any questions!

P1: you are fake news and spewing false information or down right ignorant. A student is in F1 visa while studying, after graduating a student is allowed to be in the US for 12 - 18 months called "Optional Practical Training - OPT" during this period he/she is allowed to gain employment and obtain practical exposure.
After 18 months, the employing company has to initiate H1B visa if they were to continue employment.
L1 visa is specifically meant for intra company transfer, may be a transfer from offshore facility EY India to EY US.
Your statement about EY hiring students and asking them to renew student visa so they can employ is false, inaccurate and stupid.

Its amazing how threads like these expose the closet h1b haters that work amongst us. BA1 do you actually believe that blood sucking companies like EY, kpmg or D would hire people for charity? If you ever dared to do some recruiting with your firm, you will know how easy it is to fill up roles

K4, Everything you just wrote is plain dumb. What is that that doesn't let you leave the US and how are you so embedded into the system that you need to "slave" here? Sell you house, pay off you loans, pack your belongings and piece out for a better future some place else. No one holds you here, US corporations can do just fine without you. Given your credentials you can probably easily find a job at your home, wherever it is, but somehow you prefer to enjoy the comfortable and secure life here... well, leave and open up your spot for someone, who actually likes it and wants to make a difference

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?
