The Trump administration has proposed eliminating the 60-day grace period that allows H-1B and certain other temporary visa holders to remain in the United States after losing their jobs. Under the proposed Department of Homeland Security rule, affected workers would have to leave the country immediately after employment ends, unless they secure another legal arrangement. The policy would also affect E-1, E-2, L-1, O-1, TN, H-1B1 and E-3 visa holders. The administration says the change could encourage hiring of U.S. workers, while immigration lawyers warn it would create significant pressure on foreign employees and employers. The proposal is open for public comment for two months. (PC: Reuters)
