US Proposes New Rule to Scrap the 60 Day Grace Period for H-1B Workers

In a proposed new rule on Thursday, the US government wants to eliminate the 60 day grace period for certain foreign workers, including H-1B visa holders, to find a new job after losing their current one. This action will have a big effect on Indian tech professionals who are employed by IT firms and other businesses holding H-1B visas, according to reports.

US businesses can recruit foreign workers in specialized fields that call for theoretical or technical knowledge thanks to the H-1B visa, a non-immigrant visa.

The US Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) proposal would eliminate the grace period that has allowed eligible foreign workers to remain in the nation while looking for new jobs or otherwise regularizing their immigration status. After getting feedback from the public, the US government might finish the suggested law.

Before leaving the country, the 60 day grace period has allowed foreign workers since 2017 to find another job in the US or organize their belongings, from selling a house to taking children out of school.
