This isn’t correct. Once you have an H1B it’s yours for 3 years (plus a 3 year extension). If you lose your job you can use the remaining eligibility for another job, though you may have to do your job search from outside the country.

In addition, USCIS has formalized the general practice that you have 60 days to find another job or leave the country: https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-publishes-fin...

If it yours but you can't use it without a 3rd party (employer) agreeing, is it really yours?

I'm glad to hear the 60 days had been codified. I just hope it's a binding decision.
