US to scrap 60-day job search window for H-1B visa workers after layoffs? What we know
The U.S. government is considering scrapping the 60-day job search window for foreign workers with non-immigrant visas such as H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1 and TN after layoffs. This proposal, currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), could force these workers to leave the country immediately after job loss.
If finalized, a public comment period of 30 to 60 days would follow before the rule is enacted. The rule applies to non-immigrant visa holders and their dependents across various categories, with data indicating 71% of approved beneficiaries are of Indian origin.
