Trump Administration Proposes Ending 60-Day Grace Period for H-1B and Other Visa Holders

The Trump administration has formally proposed to eliminate the 60-day grace period that currently allows H-1B visa holders and other foreign workers to remain in the U.S. after job loss. This new rule, put forth by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), would require laid-off workers to leave the U.S. immediately upon termination. The move raises significant concerns among immigrant communities, particularly affecting Indian tech workers, who are heavily reliant on H-1B visas. Experts warn that the elimination of this safety net could lead to increased instability and stress for those facing job losses in a competitive market.
