Yesterday I learned that i am to be laid off by my company in three weeks. I was selected at the H1B lottery and I have already received the H1B approval and the I-797.
1) the HR told me that I can use my remaining unemployment days from OPT (90 days), and after the 1st of October, I will be able to use the unemployment days of H1B (60days) . Is that correct?
2) What's the earliest date that another company can apply got H1B for me? Can they do it immediately since I have the I-797, or do i have to wait until the 1st of October?
3) Even if I am unemployed on the 1st of October, will my H1B status get activated on that date?

I was in a similar situation couple of years back but luckily I had one extra lottery chance left. Pay a good attorney and find a new employer immediately. Sorry to say but “ Embrace for impact” in your situation.
