About this listen
🚨 Laid Off on a Visa? Here’s What You Need to Know — Before It's Too Late.
What happens when your job ends… but your right to stay in the country depends on it?
In this empowering episode, we sit down with Tahmina Watson — nationally recognized immigration attorney, author, and founder of Watson Immigration Law — to break down the legal, emotional, and tactical realities of layoffs for visa holders in the U.S.
Whether you're on an H1B, O, L, E2, or know someone who is, this is essential viewing. We cover:
✅ Your 60-day grace period — and how to use every single day wisely
✅ The startup visa workaround (yes, you can create your own job)
✅ Real stories of layoffs, pivots, and global moves
✅ Why Canada is scooping up U.S. talent — and what the U.S. risks losing
✅ How to prepare before a layoff, build mental resilience, and take control
✅ What employers and allies can do to support laid-off immigrants
Tahmina shares both her legal brilliance and the emotional toolkit every visa holder needs in times of chaos.
🎯 If you're on a visa — or care about those who are — don’t wait for the crisis to hit. Watch this now.
