After employment ends, you generally get up to 60 consecutive days (or until your I-94 expires, whichever is sooner) to find a new employer who files an H-1B petition for you, change to another status, or depart the US. The clock starts from your last day of employment, and the grace period is typically available once per authorised stay. Move fast, keep documents of your end date, and confirm the details on USCIS.gov.
