USCIS on non-immigrant workers
The USCIS has recently tweeted that when non-immigrant workers are laid off, they must leave the country within 60 days of termination of employment. And they may not even realize that they have options, and sometimes they know that they don't have any other option except leaving the country.
What can a nonimmigrant worker do in the US after termination?
- After a nonimmigrant worker is terminated (voluntary or involuntary), they can remain in a period of authorized stay in the US (if eligible) by taking any one of the following actions:
- Apply for a change of nonimmigrant status; or
- Apply for the adjustment of status; or
- Apply for "compelling circumstances"; or
- Become the beneficiary of a nonfrivolous petition to change employer.
