My h1b transfer was denied. I left my previous employer 6 months ago. Manager doesn't know what to do. They terminated me now, and said it'll take 1 month to refile. My lawyer is saying it's okay to stay in country. I don't trust fragomen. What to do.

    You need to hire your own lawyer, asap! Fragomen represents Amazon's interests not yours, that's called dual representation, a letter you signed when you filed for H1. I highly recommend Pam Genise at Murthy Law. I was in a 60 day grace as well and she provided solid advice. Best couple hundred bucks spent! Prepare your questions and go to her. Please do yourself a favor and do it today. We may be helpful but I doubt any of us has a law degree and is an immigration specialist. You don't want to screw with staying beyond status expiration.

    Btw others advice is spot on, get another offer or transfer to another country, get that process started asap. Amazon may be great but you need a valid status and can always go back to them. You got through once, you will get through again. Good luck!

    Ask amazon to see if they can transfer you another country (Canada)
    Also ask fragomen to figures out why your case was denied ( hope they didn't screwed up the paperwork). You can always appeal your denial. Assuming yours is a legit petition ( MS in CS and software engineer as a role), there is no reason for USCIS to deny your petition. Push back on Fragomen to figure this stuff out for you. That's why all these big corporations pay tons of money to handle our immigration matters. Good luck OP! Hope this works out.

    Hire external immigration attorney to discuss your situation. It’s worth to spend few hundred bucks in your situation. Don’t listen to the folks who keep saying “why you did it”. Move on from that decision - look forward. Good luck.
