    Either the employer or the alien may terminate employment at any time for any or no reason at all. As soon as employment is terminated, your visa is technically not valid. However, the USCIS might allow a short grace period of ten days from the date that the alien is fired or laid off. In other words, the alien will be able to legally remain in the U.S. for ten days and must file a change of status during this time.
