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

The US Department of Homeland Security is considering the elimination of a 60-day grace period for specific visa holders, which could greatly affect Indian H-1B and L-1 visa holders in the United States. This proposal is based on the belief that the grace period compromises the integrity of employment-related visa classifications. A decision to remove this grace period would introduce significant financial and logistical hurdles for those impacted.
