In 2017, US government introduced 60-day grace period for H-1B visa workers; 9 years later DHS wants to end it; here’s the status update

For nearly nine years, foreign workers in the US who lost their jobs have had a 60-day window to find a new employer or change their immigration status. Now, that protection may be removed. According to a Bloomberg Law report, a proposal from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to end the 60-day grace period has cleared a key White House review, moving it closer to becoming public. If approved, the proposal could have a major impact on H-1B visa holders, including thousands of Indian professionals, who are among the biggest users of the visa programme. However, the rule has not taken effect yet, and its final details are still not public.
