The slow economy in recent times has compelled many employers, especially those in the Information Technology industry, to lay off H-1B employees. Unfortunately, a lot of H-1B employees wind up in troubled waters once they are notified by their employers regarding the termination of their employment. It is extremely important for an H-1B visa holder to be in status at all times. The Law Offices of N.M. Gehi has succeeded on a number of these cases. For example, we recently succeeded in assisting an H-1B holder in transferring to an H4 status; and thereafter, we also assisted him in obtaining an H-1B visa again after he found another employer.
