Numerous companies, including Meta, Twitter, and Amazon, have laid off thousands of employees in recent months due to growing concerns about an economic downturn. After recent IT layoffs affected hundreds of Indians with temporary visas in the U.S. coworkers banded together to help them find work and remain. Tech colleagues in the US have banded together to help their friends find jobs before they are forced to leave since they are aware of the uncertainty that an H1-B visa brings.

Indians having H1-B visas, a non-immigrant visa that permits companies to hire foreigners for up to six years, are among those affected and are now needed to leave or find a job within 60 days. Some American communities are likewise eager to attract foreign expertise in the wake of the massive unemployment.

Additionally, experts offered strategic advice, including how applying for a visitor visa, a non-immigrant visa for transitory business entry into the US, can give an H1-B visa holder a few extra months to continue their job search, advice on negotiating with employers to extend the last day of employment, and suggestions on the categories of companies that are currently more likely to hire.
