Trump admin proposes ending 60-day grace period after job loss for H-1B, other visa holders

The Trump administration, through the USCIS and DHS, proposes eliminating the 60-day grace period for H-1B and other visa holders who lose their employment. This move seeks to end an Obama-era policy that currently allows immigrant workers a two-month window to remain in the country after job loss. If the proposed rule is officially adopted, foreign workers will be required to leave the United States immediately upon losing their jobs instead of utilizing the grace period.
