No Official Grace Period for L1 Visa Holder After Employment Terminated

Hi William,

My L1 employment was
terminated with notice period of only 3 days. Home many days of grace period that I have to stay in United States after the end of employment?

Answer,

There is no official grace period for L1 visa holder. However, it is reasonable for a L1 person to stay for an additional week or so to wrap-up things or sell stuff. It may be a question for how much time is "reasonable".

Once your employment ends, the L1 employer has right to inform USCIS about the decision. Even though your L-1 visa and Form I-94 may be still valid.

The employment in U.S. is "at will". The employer can terminate an employment after giving reasonable notice period, which can be as less as one day. So the length of notice period will not impact
reasonable grace period.
