My friend who is an O1 visa holder under me as his agent, was just told he will be furloughed in July. While his visa is not tied to his employer, We are trying to understand if he can apply for unemployment or if this will hurt him when the renewal comes due. He has been on the US for 19 yrs now and has never been laid off or furloughed —any ideas on this?
