DHS Proposes Eliminating 60-Day Grace Period for Certain Work Visas

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed eliminating the 60-day grace period for certain work visa holders, which would require them to depart or change status more quickly upon job loss. The proposal affects H-1B and other employment-based visa categories, potentially increasing compliance burdens and reducing flexibility for foreign workers. The rule is in proposal stage; timeline and final scope remain uncertain.
