Hi All,
I need some urgent guidance on my H-1B situation:
Questions:
I want to stay compliant and not risk my status. Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
I need some urgent guidance on my H-1B situation:
- My old employer terminated me and my last working day was 29 Aug.
- Another employer filed my transfer in premium, I got the receipt number, but the client closed the position and employer may withdraw.
- A big bank employer is ready to file, but their LCA is not yet filed (DOL delays).
- As per my understanding, my 60-day grace period started from 30 Aug, so I’m good until around 28 Oct 2025.
Questions:
- Can the new employer still file H-1B with LCA once DOL reopens within my grace period?
- Do I need to inform the client about my termination, or is it only between me and the employer?
- Should I file a backup B-2 application to maintain status in case the LCA delays continue?
- Any risks since I didn’t inform the client, but employer withdrawal is likely?
I want to stay compliant and not risk my status. Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
