A US Trump administration proposal would eliminate the 60-day window for foreign employees to find new guarantors after losing their jobs. The proposed rule would abolish the discretionary grace period applicable to specific employees, including H-1B employees, since 2017. The US Department of Homeland Security said the proposal would reduce the agency's administrative burden, but critics believe it would shift responsibility to the Department of State and increase the financial burden on companies that dismiss foreign employees.
