16 September Current Affairs 2026 | Q8: Major H-1B Visa Change After Job Loss | SSC UPSC GK

Q8. What major change has the Trump administration proposed for H-1B visa holders who lose their jobs in the United States?

📌 Answer: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed eliminating the existing 60-day grace period that allows certain H-1B and other nonimmigrant workers to remain in the U.S. after their employment ends while seeking another employer or changing status. If finalized, the change would generally require affected workers to leave when their employment ends unless they have another legal basis to remain.

⚠️ Important: This is currently a proposed rule, not a final rule.
