US May Scrap 60-Day Grace Period for H-1B Workers After Job Loss

The United States government is considering eliminating the 60-day grace period currently granted to H-1B visa holders who lose their jobs. This buffer period presently allows skilled foreign workers and their dependants to remain in the country temporarily while seeking new employment or making departure arrangements. Removing this provision would effectively require affected workers and their families to leave the US almost immediately upon losing their jobs. The proposed change is part of a broader shift in US immigration policy under review by authorities.
