I was recently laid off from my job and am looking for a new employer. I am supposed to travel for a short trip to Canada. Can I travel and then return on H1B before the end of my 60-day grace period?

Answer

No, once a person departs the U.S, it generally would not be possible to return during one’s grace period. In order to return in H1B status, one would need a valid job offer and H1B petition. (16.Dec.2020)
