US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announces that laid-off H-1B visa holders in the US can legally extend their stay beyond 60 days. Options include applying for a new employer, changing visa status, or adjusting visa status. Timely actions during the grace period ensure extended stay, while inaction may require departure within 60 days. H-1B non-immigrants can work for a new employer upon filing a new H-1B petition. USCIS clarifies misconceptions amid tech industry layoffs, affecting thousands, including Indians. Efforts continue to support legal stay for affected workers amidst ongoing challenges in the job market.
