Hi,

I had been on H1-B visa (sixth year expiring on Oct/01/2005) with a US software company. The company also filed for my labor certification which recently got remanded back from federal to state and but is still pending a decision. On last May/17/2004, I have got laid off from the company.

At this situation, how long can I search for another job to sponsor for my H1-B without loosing my legal status here in United States?

Your advice would be greatly helpful!

Appreciate the response, ginnu! I am trying my best to find a job that sponsors for an h1b.

However, I am not sure how long I can try. Is there a time limit for this window for finding a job to do an h1 transfer?
