H-1B workers' 60-day grace period may end: What happens next

The US Department of Homeland Security is considering a proposal that may eliminate the 60-day grace period for foreign workers, particularly affecting H-1B visa holders and countless Indian professionals.

This grace period currently allows individuals to seek new jobs or modify their status before needing to leave the US.

Without it in place, workers may face immediate departure following job loss, with final details pending further evaluation.
