DHS proposes scrapping 60-day grace period for foreign workers after job loss

There have been significant changes to the regulations regarding foreign workers in the United States suggested by the Donald Trump administration that might impact many Indian professionals working under temporary visas in the US.

According to the new proposed regulations, the 60-day grace period available to some foreign workers following termination of their employment will be abolished. The suggested rule means that some employees on H-1B and other types of visas might need to leave the country immediately upon termination of their employment.

The new suggestion is especially important to Indian professionals who constitute the majority of those holding H-1B visas in the US.
