OMB: DHS to Propose Elimination of 60-Day Grace Period for H1B, TN, and others

The federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is currently reviewing a proposed regulation that, if finalized, would eliminate the 60-day grace period accorded to certain principal nonimmigrants and their dependents if the principal’s employment ceases before their period of stay expires. Once the proposal clears OMB review, it will be published in the Federal Register for comments from the public. Details of the proposal will not be known with specificity until publication. If the 60-day grace period is eliminated, foreign nationals whose employment ceases prematurely (and their dependents) would no longer be maintaining status and would generally be required to depart the United States immediately and would be unable to change status or change employers within the United States, unless USCIS exercises its discretion to forgive the lapse in status. submitted by /u/Complete-Leg-1031 to r/USCIS [link] [comments]
