With the rise of layoffs, specifically in the technology sector, Partner Kevin Miner offers the immigration law perspective on the additional struggles employees with H-1B visa status face when laid off. Kevin emphasizes how important it is for companies to comply with immigration rules when terminating employees in order to avoid significant fines. Additionally, employees in H-1B status must prioritize finding another position during the 60-day grace period in order to remain in the United States legally.
Curious how this will affect other visa statuses, such as PERM applications or the green card process, for employees? Read the Forbes article, โTwitter And Other Tech Layoffs Raise H-1B Visa Employment Issues,โ for more insights from Kevin.
