| Q. |
How long can I remain in the USA while I look employment?
I am a recent graduate from Duke University and I was working for a company in the Bay area.
The company agreed to file my H1B, my case was selected,and I got the H1 approval.
However,2 weeks later I was layed off from the company and I now seek a new employment opportunity.
I also got my extended OPT from the USCIS which has a new I20 that gives me permission to remain in the USA until September 15th.
The paralegal in the old company told me I would have 60 days to find another job,and transfer my H1. 60 days will end on August 11th.
I am confused as to whether I should follow the date accoriding to my nw I20 (Septmeber 15th) verses my H1 approval (August 11th.
Please let me know what would be legal and appropriate.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Lakshmi
