The thing that grinds my gears (I'm a H1B holder) is that no one really knows the answer to this question, including immigration lawyers who post on linkedin). The general advice is to start the clock the day you are laid off.

I suspect that is true in general - but in the particular of Twitter I wonder if it legally counts as "garden leave" to get around the WARN act, meaning that those people are still "employed" by Twitter for the purposes of the H1B.

It'd be kinda annoying if they could have it one way for the WARN act and it was another way for the H1B.

I think it would be helpful to ask USCIS to develop a clear policy.
