Trump Administration Proposes Ending 60-Day Grace Period for H-1B Visa Holders
The Trump administration has proposed eliminating the 60-day grace period that allows H-1B and certain other temporary visa holders to remain in the US after job loss to find new employment or make departure arrangements. If finalized, affected workers would need to leave immediately upon employment termination. The change could impact Indian tech professionals, who form a large share of H-1B holders, and US tech companies reliant on foreign talent. The Department of Homeland Security stated the move aligns visa status with employment and may benefit American workers by opening jobs.
