US moves to scrap 60-day grace period for foreign workers after job loss, putting visa holders on alert
- The Trump administration is moving to scrap the 60-day grace period that lets H-1B workers stay in the US after losing their jobs.
- The proposal has cleared White House regulatory review and was submitted by the Department of Homeland Security.
- If approved, H-1B workers could have to leave the US much sooner after job loss, instead of getting up to 60 days to find another job or change status.
- The move could particularly affect Indian workers, who accounted for 71% of successful H-1B applicants in fiscal 2024.
