The tech industry has taken a hit today with multiple layoffs in response to the inflation and recession. We at the EITF project, wanted to address this topic. We have been noticing a lot of U.S immigrants who are affected by the layoffs, asking questions about available VISA options. We have spoken to Manjunath Gokare, an expert immigration lawyer who has a lot of info for us. Here are some of the topics we cover: - Advice for folks affected by layoffs - 60 day grace period for H1 - last day of severance or last day of employment? - H1 - can we receive severance as paycheck to help stay longer? - H1 - when do you file for change of status? - H1 - multiple change of status - will it affect green card? - H1 to Day 1 CPT/B1-B2 - advisable? - Is Day 1 CPT advisable? Does it affect green card processing? - Is day 1 CPT illegal? - Does O1 visa require employer sponsorship? Can we self petition for it? - Advice for students on OPT heading into the recession - What is a cap gap extension? - Does cap gap extension cover the response time for RFEs? - Options for L1 visa holders affected by layoffs - cap exempt H1 options - Insane visa stamping wait times - other options? - A message to other immigration attorneys and the audience.
