What happens if the employment is terminated before the employees H1B status expires?
If the employer terminates the employment for any reason before the approved expiration date, the employer is responsible for notifying the U.S. C.I.S. and providing return transportation of the employee to her/his last place of foreign residence. In this event, the employee loses legal status and may be required to leave the U.S. unless the employee finds a new employer willing to file a new petition on his or her behalf on a timely basis.
