The question is how can I change to B2 so i can tidy up and move my things. 1) Can I efile Form I-539, pay $300 and wait for the outcome and look for a job while waiting or 2) should I go to the nearest POE and apply for B2 visitor visa which is risky.
I am afraid if I go to the nearest POE, they may deny B2 visa and also deny entry back to the US. That will make things worse for me up because I have an apartment full of stuff I need to move.
If option 1 and 2 are not feasible? how many extra days after being laid off am I allowed to stay before I leave the US?
Could someone help give me some advice?

This does not make sense. You just got the TN...and started working there.
