White House Reviews Proposal to End 60-Day Grace Period for H-1B Visa Holders
The White House has completed its review of a proposal to eliminate the 60-day grace period allowing foreign workers on visas like H-1B to remain in the US after job loss while seeking new employment. The proposal, initiated by the Department of Homeland Security, now awaits publication in the Federal Register and a public comment period. If finalized, affected visa holders and their dependents would generally need to leave the US immediately after employment ends, potentially impacting many, including Indian nationals who are major H-1B beneficiaries.
