Trump may revoke the extended auto-renewal for H-1B and L-1 work permits

Two Republican Senators on Friday introduced a resolution to roll back a Biden-era rule that extended the automatic renewal period for employment authorisation from 180 days to 540 days.

The rule, which the US Department of Homeland Security finalised on January 13, applies to a broad group of individuals, including immigrants, refugees, green card holders, and the spouses of H-1B visa and L-1 visa holders. The extension has been particularly beneficial for many Indian nationals who rely on these work authorisations.
