layoff - GC approved - new job
I’ve never thought I would be posting my story since I joined this community. However, I promised this might be the most luckiest story you have ever heard.
Long story short, I got laid off and then my GC got approved on the next business day and I got a new offer on the same day.
Last week:
- H1B status with pending GC (PD: May 2022) so my case has been current this month
- 1/16 (last Tuesday) layoff happened and 1/19 (last Friday) was my official last day
- I started applying for jobs and reached out to connections since 1/16 and got 2 interviews from different companies in the same week
- One of the rules is to maintain your employment while waiting for GC approval so the pressure was real, considering my case was current
- 1/18 (last Thursday) Attorney advised to get a new offer asap to close the unemployment gap and minimize being questioned about my intent when renewing visa/applying for citizenship in the future even though it was out of my control
This week:
- 1/22 (Monday) GC was being produced, so I thought I was done the moment I saw the status update. The time crunch was impossible. I got to get an offer within a day!
- 1/22 (Monday) got 2 interviews with a new company and a job offer on spot
- 1/23 (Tuesday) GC was approved
As we all know, the interview process typically takes at least one month. Layoff and GC processing time are out of our control. At the end, we are able to pull it off!!!
I learned that people and hiring managers are human. I was taking my interview seriously and able to make a good impression. And, there are good people out there, who are willing to listen to your story, your commitment and your dedication. I’m feeling very lucky to be surrounded by them.
oh thanks to my hubby. the biggest supporter of all.

Thanks for sharing. I did it on the App "Inmigra USA" the community of Immigrants in the United States. inmigrausa.com
There are immigration lawyers and free collaborators.
Stay up to date on news of interest to the Latino community.
Search Inmigrate USA.
I chose the Florida community, it looks like they are starting now, so I recommend you choose Florida.
Busca inmigra USA el app del inmigrante, de verdad es muy buena tambien.
Thanks!!!
