US Proposes Changes to H-1B Visa Rules Affecting Spouses and Grace Period
The Trump administration has proposed several changes affecting H-1B visa holders and their families, including a plan to revoke work permits for certain H-4 dependent spouses and to eliminate the 60-day grace period for H-1B workers to find new employment after job loss. These proposals, still under review and not yet implemented, could impact many families, particularly Indian immigrants, by restricting employment options and reducing flexibility. Public comments are being accepted before any final rules are issued.
