Hi,

I am currently on H1B visa working for a company and planning to return to India for good. How many days can I stay in US after quitting my job?
 
In theory - zero. In practice (and don't take my word for it!!!), if you stay a couple of weeks after quitting, you'll be able to come back to the US without an issue. If you stay for more than a month out of status - you'll most certainly have troubles next time you try to get here.

But the law is that once you quit your job - you're out of status and should leave at once.
