Asking the employer to extend visa validity after termination

Hi,

I was terminated on 1 May. I was on probation at that time and had completed almost 5 months. I have been told that I will be given 2 months' salary and my visa will remain valid for 3 months to search for another job.

On my request to extend my visa for some more time, HR Head discussed with management and after 2 days, the HR executive told me that my visa can be extended for 1 more month i.e. it will remain valid for 4 months on 1 condition that my 2 months salary will remain on hold till that time.

I said yes, but later, I realized that it won't be possible for me to survive. So, I called HR Head on the same day and said no to this and asked to find a mid-way solution.

When I haven't got any response, I requested them to release my 2 months' salary as per process and keep my visa valid for 3 months.

Today I got a response: "We regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed with your request, as the company's policy will not enable us to issue any payment until the work permit and visa are canceled."
