The US Department of Homeland Security has proposed removing the 60-day grace period that allows certain foreign workers to remain in the country after their employment ends. The proposal would require affected workers to leave the United States immediately unless they have another legal basis to stay.
The proposal, issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, would remove regulation 8 CFR 214.1(l)(2). The current rule allows eligible workers to remain in the US for up to 60 days after losing or leaving a job, or until their authorised stay expires, whichever comes first.
