Hello:
I am currently working in the US on a H1 B visa. My company is being bought out. My understanding is that I will be out of status if I loose my job. As a precaution, can I be switched to a different visa (B visa)? If yes, how long will it take? If I need to return on a H1 visa later on, do I have to go back to my country or can I do the switch while in the US. Thanks
