Trump Administration’s Shock for H-1B Visa Holders?

The US government is reportedly considering a major change that could affect H-1B visa holders. Authorities are reviewing the possibility of ending the existing 60 day grace period that allows H-1B workers to remain in the US after losing their jobs while they look for new employment. No final decision has been announced yet.

If the proposed rule is implemented, H-1B visa holders could face much stricter limits on their stay in the US after losing employment. The move could significantly affect Indian H-1B workers, who may have less time to secure new jobs or make alternative immigration arrangements.
