H1B Termination

How to Transfer Your H1B Visa & Track the Transfer Status 

If you find out that you will lose your job, getting an H1B visa will be stressful as a non-immigrant worker in the United States of America is likely to experience in their professional life. You must maintain your composure and hasten. Here are options that will be helpful if you know about them in advance, and if you follow the proper protocols, you'll be able to make a reasonably stress-free transfer to a new visa status or job situation. Techfetch H1B is a one-stop site that provides detailed information on what happens after H1B is revoked and about the entire U.S. immigration updates.

Ways to Find Out the Status & Reasons of H1B Cancellation

There is a simple method available for you to use to determine if your H1B visa has been canceled or not. Employers wishing to terminate an employee's H1B visa must first submit a formal request to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to withdraw the petition. Once this application is received, the procedure is quite quick, and the USCIS will instantly revoke your status.

This may happen within the time between the day your employment ended and the day your grace period ended. Your H1B status will undoubtedly be canceled within sixty days of the employee's termination, although it might be several weeks before the withdrawal request is filed.

The first thing to consider in this situation is the various possible outcomes that could result in your visa being revoked. To begin with, contrary to what you may have been told, an employer does not have the right to cancel an employee's visa. This responsibility rests solely with the government. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the only entity that has the authority to cancel your visa.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can take this step in one of two circumstances.

• If the company that employs you goes out of business

• If the company requests your visa to be cancelled

In the second case, your former workplace is legally required to notify immigration authorities as soon as you stop working for that company.

Steps to Take When You Are Likely to Be Fired From Your Job

If you have been notified in advance that you are about to lose your job, you should first start looking for a new job and explore the many visa alternatives available to you. When you lose your job, you are formally considered out of status; therefore, the sooner you apply for a "Change of Status" to a new visa or an H1B transfer to a new company, the better off you will be. If you have done this, your applications will not be affected when your employer notifies the immigration authorities that your employment has ended.

A Brief on What to Expect if You Get Fired Without Notice

In the unfortunate event that you are fired without notice, you will need to act quickly to avoid the possibility of being required to leave the country. When your job ends, you will be formally out of status and lose the ability to apply for an H1B transfer. If, on the other hand, you can find a new job in a short period, you may still be eligible for an H1B transfer. You'll need to pay the additional premium processing fee, explain your circumstances, and mark the request "nunc pro tunc," Latin for "now and later." Even though you were out of status at the time of your application, immigration services will have the option to allow the transfer and provide you with an updated 1-94 card if you provide this documentation.

The Bottom-line

Techfetch H1B is a one-stop site that will guide you by providing in-depth insight on what happens after H1B is revoked. If you find yourself getting fired, you absolutely need to act fast, as the longer you wait, the less likely the "nunc pro tunc" approach will work for you.
