Layoff notices at H-1B employers

If you work at one of these companies

• A notice doesn't say who is affected, or whether any H-1B workers are. Ask HR directly and early.
• If you're laid off, the 60-day grace period usually starts the day after your last day of employment, not the day you're told. Layoff clock · the 60-day plan.
• Start looking now at employers who sponsor your job in your area.
• Ask whether your employer will keep your approved I-140 and priority date safe. After 180 days of approval, an I-140 generally isn't revoked just because you leave.

How this works

Notices come from the state labor departments of California, Washington, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, collected daily with Big Local News' open-source WARN scraper. Texas, Virginia, North Carolina and Massachusetts aren't included yet: their sites block automated access or aren't supported. A company is listed when its name matches, exactly, an employer with certified H-1B labor condition applications in the last year (Department of Labor data), so a match can occasionally be a different company with the same name. H-1B and green card counts are for the whole company, not the site in the notice. Some states publish only the layoff date, not the notice date.
