An H-1B worker recently shared a troubling experience after losing a job, which quickly turned into an immigration concern. The situation highlights the uncertainty many visa holders face during job transitions in the United States.
According to the worker’s account, the layoff happened on March 13, 2026. After securing a new job, an H-1B transfer petition was filed under premium processing. USCIS reportedly received the application on April 30.
The worker stated that the filing was within the 60 day grace period allowed after job loss. However, on the same day, USCIS updated the case status to indicate that a Request for Initial Evidence was sent.
Despite the status update, neither the worker nor the lawyer received detailed information about the request. Only the online update was visible, leaving them uncertain about the next steps in the process.
As time passed, the grace period expired, adding to the complexity of the case. This created a stressful situation where the worker’s legal status remained unclear without proper communication from USCIS.
Such situations can be deeply worrying for H-1B holders. Not knowing the reason behind a case delay or flag can increase anxiety, especially when official responses are not timely.
For many workers, job loss is only the beginning of the challenge. Even after finding new employment, strict immigration procedures can delay approvals and create uncertainty around visa transfers.
The case reflects a broader issue faced by H-1B professionals. Delays in processing and lack of clarity can impact both personal and professional stability during critical transitions.
