from my h1b days I remember hearing that you have 10 days grace to leave the country on losing job. Tough if you have a family

that’s not accurate, it’s just a custom. You actually have 0 days (though the rule is slated to change in January)

I see. You get 10 days when your H1B expires, but if you lose your job, there's 0 days. Awful. https://www.uscis.gov/tools/ombudsman-liaison/practical-immigration-consequences-foreign-workers-slowing-economy …
