Fired on H-1B in Tysons? The 60-Day Grace Period and What It Doesn’t Cover

H-1B workers in Tysons face termination consequences ordinary employees do not: the 60-day grace period to find new sponsorship, the LCA-related obligations, the I-140 portability rules, and the immigration status implications that can move from green card track to departure within weeks. Employers know this and sometimes use it. I represent H-1B workers in Tysons termination cases. Call me before the grace period closes.

The Rented Scooter Felt Harmless. Then a Car Turned Across Your Path.

Every Situation That Calls for a Protective Order in Virginia

LGBTQ+ Wrongful Termination in Tysons: Bostock, the Virginia Values Act, and the Cases That Get Won

Tysons workers fired because of sexual orientation or gender identity have stronger protections than many employers acknowledge. Bostock v.

Denied Remote Work as a Disability Accommodation in Tysons? The ADA Interactive Process After the Pandemic

"Client-facing" is not the magic word that defeats remote work accommodation requests. The ADA interactive process requires genuine analysis of whether the role's essential functions can be performed with the accommodation, not a reflexive policy denial. Tysons employers who refused remote and hybrid accommodations after the pandemic, then fired workers for performance issues correlated with the unaccommodated condition, often have weak defenses. I represent these workers. Call me.
