“There's nothing Abi can't do. Period. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Abi on the Paven app, a financial well-being tool for Fortune 50 employees. She was a key player across multiple workstreams, complex projects, and different time zones. Time and time again, she rose to the occasion by stepping up as a program manager, a product manager, a project manager, even a content designer! The processes she implemented directly increased the velocity of our feature releases and had significant impact on the overall health of our app. And most importantly, directly impacted the health and well-being of our team. She was an integral part in building out our culture of transparency, openness, cross-functional partnership, and information sharing. She was not only a bridge between teams, but the architect behind each of the processes that allowed our teams to succeed.”

🇺🇸 Understanding H-1B Grace Period After a Layoff: What Really Happens Behind the Scenes One of the most confusing times for professionals on an H-1B visa is right after a layoff — especially when trying to understand when the 60-day grace period actually begins. Let’s break it down clearly 👇 💡 What Is the H-1B Grace Period? When your employment on an H-1B ends unexpectedly (layoff, termination, etc.), U.S. immigration law grants a 60-day grace period (or until your I-94 expiry, whichever is sooner). During this window, you can: Find a new employer willing to file an H-1B transfer, or File a change of status (to B-1/B-2, F-1, dependent, etc.), or Make arrangements to leave the U.S. gracefully. 🕒 When Does the 60 Days Actually Start? This is where most confusion happens — and it’s not always the same as your last working day. Here are the possible scenarios: If you’re still on payroll (notice period): Your grace period does not start until your last day on payroll — i.e., when your salary officially stops. ➤ Example: If your company gives you a 2-week notice or pays you for that duration, your 60 days begin after that period ends. If you receive severance pay (lump sum or continued): USCIS generally looks at the actual last date of employment, not the severance period — unless the employer reports otherwise. ➤ So, if you’re on paid administrative leave, your clock might not start yet. But if severance is just compensation after employment ends, your clock has already started. If the employer updates USCIS early: Once the employer withdraws your H-1B petition, USCIS treats that as the end of employment. ➤ But remember — it’s often the last date you were paid that counts most, especially if the employer maintains payroll compliance until that date. ⚠️ The Most Common Confusion People often think: “My company gave me a month of notice, so my 60 days start later.” ✅ True if you’re still being paid. “My severance counts as employment.” ❌ Not necessarily. “My last working day and grace period start date are the same.” ⚠️ Only if your employer ends payroll that day. 🧭 Key Takeaways for H-1B Employees Always confirm your last paycheck date with HR or payroll. Keep proof of pay stubs or HR email confirming your end date. Use this 60-day window wisely: line up interviews, request transfers, or explore alternate visa options. Don’t panic — but don’t delay either. Immigration timelines are firm, not flexible. 🎯 Career Coach’s Note: If you’ve recently been impacted by a layoff, take this time to plan wisely. I offer a free 30-minute discovery call to help you strategize your next move — both career-wise and immigration-wise. You’re not alone — clarity is the first step toward stability. 💪 #Layoff #H1B #GracePeriod #Termination #NoticePeriod #LastDayAtWork #Severance #NonImmigrant #JobHunt #Strategy #VisaTimelines #BounceBack
