Grace period after voluntarily quitting on H1B?

Hi everyone. I have been on the H1B with a stamped visa in my passport since Oct 2020. I am planing on quitting my job this month, and had a few questions -

  1. Am I able to stay in the US legally for 60 days to wrap up things here after quitting the job? There seem to be mixed opinions on this and it’s causing quite a bit of confusion.

  2. Will I be able to apply for jobs from my home country and refile without going through the lottery? I consulted with a lawyer who mentioned I may be able to keep my H1B petition number for 6 years starting the initial approval date.

TL;DR - what is the grace period on h1b if an employee is resigning rather than being terminated and is there any difference?

Thank you so much for your help!

To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
