I am currently on H1B with a potential of getting laid off. Have already filed EAD and AOS.

I know for sure that if I get laid off I can be rehired on H1B till I get my EAD. Does this mean that I am "eligible to work in the US" after I get laid off but before I get EAD?

I have been applying for jobs and see this question everywhere.

Thanks very much.

Isn't and H1B H-1B strictly limited to employment by the sponsoring employer?

ah - found the answer.

H-1B info

Q : Who can an H-1B alien work for?

H-1B aliens may only work for the petitioning U.S. employer and only in the H-1B activities described in the petition. The petitioning U.S. employer may place the H-1B worker on the worksite of another employer if all applicable rules (e.g., Department of Labor rules) are followed. H-1B aliens may work for more than one U.S. employer, but must have a Form I-129 petition approved by each employer.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.
