An H-1B worker who files a concurrent I-526E and I-485 and is laid off can utilize their Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to take any job without restrictions. This change allows affected workers to avoid the pressure of finding a new H-1B-sponsoring employer within 60 days of their layoff.
Key Details:
- Affected workers: H-1B visa holders filing concurrent I-526E and I-485.
- Employment flexibility: EAD allows for any job without H-1B sponsorship.
- Layoff impact: Workers no longer need to secure a new H-1B employer within 60 days.
- Filing context: This applies to those who have submitted both I-526E and I-485 applications.
This update significantly eases the transition for H-1B workers facing layoffs, providing them with greater job security and flexibility during uncertain times. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
