Trump administration proposes to end grace period for H-1B workers
In the United States, the Trump administration has proposed eliminating the 60-day grace period for H-1B visa holders who lose their jobs. This change would require affected workers to secure new employment immediately or face deportation. Additionally, the administration is considering revoking work permits for certain H-4 spouses of H-1B workers, reversing a previous policy that allowed them to work while waiting for permanent residency.
