Q: Regarding h1 b 60 day frace period
My current H1B validity period: 03/2021-03/2024, but my last day for the job is 08/15/2021
I got a new job. The new employer wants to file an H1B transfer petition before 10/15/2021 (within the 60 day grace period) but the start date mentioned in the offer letter is 11/01/2021.
If the start date is more than 60 days from the last day of the job and but a petition is filed before the 60 day grace period.
Does that mean I cross the 60 day grace period & need to leave the country or should I still be qualified for 60 days grace period, since H1B transfer filing is done within 60 days grace period? Thank you.
A: Each H1b case must have an assigned counsel at no charge retained by the YS sponsoring company, if it is a genuinely credible petition.?
