Have you just received a layoff notice on an H1B visa — or are you watching the tech industry's mass layoffs and wondering what happens to your legal status, your family's visa, and your American dream if your name appears on the next list? The H1B Layoff Survival Guide by Manoj Palwe, Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC R422575) and MIA-qualified Australian immigration professional with 25+ years of experience guiding 10,000+ families through immigration crises across three continents, is the only step-by-step emergency action plan written specifically for H1B workers facing involuntary job loss in the United States. This H1B visa layoff guide covers your 60-day grace period rights under USCIS regulations, H1B transfer to a new employer while on layoff, H4 EAD impact when the primary H1B holder loses employment, urgent H1B to H4 status change options for spouses, B1/B2 visitor visa bridge strategy while job searching, O-1A extraordinary ability visa as an alternative for senior professionals, and the critical question every laid-off H1B holder must answer within the first 72 hours — because the clock starts the moment your termination letter is signed, not the moment you find out.
