My H1B got approved, but USCIS took over 8 months to approve it and my employer does not need my services anymore. I haven’t worked for my employed but I have a valid H1b. Is there any way to salvage?

I'm sorry about your situation OP. I think an immigration lawyer is your best bet to get you an answer in this situation.
Good luck!

You might want to contact recruitment companies that can file for transfer and work for them

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks
