Hang in there bro. I got laid off on H1-B last year. While technically you become "out of status" on the day you get laid off (severance and payroll doesnt matter), you can stick around for a reasonable amount of time to find a new job. The strictest interpretation for that time is 10 days but I know folks who took 2 months. Good luck!

this is wrong advice. Don't do this. If DHS gets notified you will kicked immediately and put on ban to US entry for 1 to 3 years depending on offence. Read story of girl from Mexico ( techie girl) who overstayed.
