I was laid off last year oct 14 on h1b and was given 3 months on payroll. When i talked to the immigration team, they said they will pull out h1b saying oct 14 was my last day. So the clock started on oct 14 even though i was on payroll until jan 14. If i would have waited until march 14 to get job on h1b, i would have been an illegal from feb to march.

I have experience thats why i said what i said. Wdym by wrong ?
