I was laid off due to the COVID-19 shutdown while working on H-1B.
Hello. I was suddenly laid off from a company due to the COVID-19 shutdown while working there on H-1B.
I’ve now been told I no longer need to come in. I’d like to know what happens to my status in this situation.
For H-1B and L-1 visa (status) holders, if you are laid off in a way that means you won’t be returning, unfortunately your H-1B status is extinguished at that point.
