US Proposes Scrapping 60-Day Grace Period for H-1B Workers After Job Loss
The US government has proposed eliminating the existing 60-day grace period currently granted to H-1B visa holders following job termination. Under the proposed rule, affected workers may be required to leave the country immediately upon losing their jobs. The change would also restrict their ability to switch employers or adjust immigration status while remaining in the US. The proposal extends to multiple temporary worker visa categories as well as dependents of visa holders. It is currently undergoing federal review, with a window open for public comments.
