India, Jan. 8 -- An Indian man's Reddit post about travelling back to the United States after being laid off while on an H 1B visa has sparked a detailed online discussion.

The user took to Reddit to explain his situation, writing, "Hello everyone, I recently found out that I was laid off from my company. I'm currently on an H 1B with an approved I 140, and at the moment I am in India. Is it possible for me to travel back to the US within the next day or two? I've heard that it can take a few days for an H 1B to be formally revoked, but I'm not sure how accurate that information is. If anyone has gone through a similar situation or has insights into this process, I would really appreciate your guidance. Thank you in advance for any help....
