H-1B Visa Holder Job Loss and Re-entry Challenges
Sorun
H-1B visa holders who are laid off while outside the United States face extreme difficulty returning. Even with a valid petition, the loss of employment status creates significant uncertainty regarding visa stamping and port-of-entry admissibility.
Çözüm
Consult with immigration counsel immediately to determine if the employer has notified USCIS of the termination. Some individuals explore finding a new employer to file a new petition or attempt to re-enter if the previous petition remains active, though this carries high risk.
I got laid off by my company when I am in India for a family emergency in India. My H1B petition is valid till 2028. What options do I have now in India to stamp visa again and get back to the USA?
