Laid-off Indian techies in the US can stay beyond H-1B visa time limit of 60 days to find new job

India Today  

Good news for laid-off Indian techies living in the United States. Until now, these employees on H-1B visa had just 60 days to find a new job after termination from their current job role. The latest announcement by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services reveals that the layoffs impacted employees can continue to stay in the United States even beyond the H-1B time limit of 60 days and find a new job. While some must have managed to get a new job, thousands of employees still haven’t found a new job, and being on an H-1B visa, they had limited time until now. The previous rule stated that if an employee on an H-1B visa is terminated, they will need to find a new job in 60 days or leave the US for their home country.
