H1B 被裁员 人在海外

假设人在美国之外度假，hr通知裁员立即terminate 。有valid h1b visa stamp和valid i797，可以合法回美国吗？

海关不一定知道，所以你肯定也不知道自己被雷。

今天被裁， 明天回来 可以

取决于公司和移民局的反应速度， 而且 你是有grace period， 跟海关说你回来是来处理layoff后续事宜， 也是合理的

别管了，赶紧回来

chatGpt说不行。grace period是在境内才有的 privilege。一旦 terminate了，visa失效。

If an H-1B visa holder is laid off while overseas, they would generally not be able to re-enter the United States on their H-1B visa. This is because the H-1B visa is tied to employment, and once the employment ends, the visa is no longer valid for re-entry. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Key Considerations:
60-Day Grace Period:

The 60-day grace period allows laid-off H-1B workers to remain in the U.S. to find a new job, transfer their H-1B, or change their immigration status. However, this grace period applies only if the individual is already in the U.S. when laid off.
Overseas Layoff:

If the layoff happens while the worker is abroad, their H-1B status is considered terminated immediately because they are not physically present in the U.S. to benefit from the grace period.
Without active employment or a new petition filed by another employer, their H-1B visa effectively becomes void for travel.
Returning to the U.S.:

To return, they would need a new H-1B petition filed and approved by a new employer. Alternatively, they could return on a different visa, such as a visitor visa, if eligible, but they must meet the requirements for that visa type.
Employer Withdrawal of Petition:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) generally requires employers to notify them when an H-1B worker is terminated. Once USCIS receives this notification, the H-1B petition is revoked, which affects visa validity for re-entry.
Steps to Re-Enter:
If the worker wants to return within the 60-day period, they would need:

A new job offer with an approved H-1B transfer.
A valid H-1B visa stamp in their passport (if the previous one is unexpired).
Proof that they are still eligible for H-1B status under the new employer.

刚好 last day入境，应该可以。
.1point3acres否则就算海关犯错，让你入境了。猜想也可能算 illegal entry，后续可能很麻烦。illegal entry连跟公民结婚，都救不了。

旅游签回来也行

到底是被fire了还是lay了
lay一般都有多少多少天通知
通知你的那天不是lay人那天
你下paystub那天才是lay人的那天

裁员又不是当天是last day，一般都是60天后才是离职日期。

Ignorance is not a defense  尤其移民法有自由裁量权。

愿赌服输吧。

参考一下这个博主的经历，取决于你paystub最后一天人能不能在美国海关，尽量和公司争取保留paycheck直到入境美国，如果不行，可以办B2回来。

Q. What happens if my employment is terminated while I am outside of the United States?
. A: If a nonimmigrant worker is outside the United States and terminated with no notice period, or the notice period ends before the worker is able to return, then the grace period does not apply, and the worker must seek another immigration status that would permit reentry. If the worker can, and, in fact, does return to the United States before the notice period ends (that is, before the effective date of termination), the discretionary grace period may apply.
