I have my LOR (signed). The date of release is three weeks from now.

Here's my question:
If I get fired (because I just stop coming or because he doesn't want to have to pay me, etc), and he terminates my visa/contract/whatever employers do with immigration, is my LOR still effective? Can I still apply for the D-10/transfer my visa if he fires me before the date on the LOR?

I just have a feeling that I'm gonna get sick of him screaming in my face, and I want to make sure that I can get the D-10 or transfer my visa to another school if I just stop coming to work before the date on my LOR. Which is very likely.

Thoughts?

There is still a lot of paperwork to be done, so having an angry boss will not help you in any way. I'd stick it out and try to think positive (or at least calming/"whatever" thoughts until you are free and clear, imho... Good luck!!!

definitely hard to do, but it's good advice. thank you :)

Update:

I have given all my docs to my new school to transfer my visa. The date on my LOR is two weeks from now. That's also when I start my new job. Can I just leave tomorrow (obviously, I will give warning to the kids and co-workers), or can my current boss screw me over in any way (immigration, etc)?

" The date on my LOR is two weeks from now"

no, LOL! Unless they have a replacement for you already and are trying to get you out of the provided housing, you still have to stick with your LOR as it is basically a new contract
