Trump administration proposes ending 60-day grace period after job loss for H-1B, other visa holders

"This proposal restores a direct relationship between an alien's nonimmigrant status and the specific employment or activity that formed the basis of his or her admission or grant of status in the United States and reduces administrative burden," the document reads.

A noncitizen would have to immediately leave the U.S. if no longer working for an employer linked to a visa status if the rule were to be implemented.

"DHS believes that restoring the expectation that aliens depart the United States upon cessation of the employment or activity upon which the alien's status was based, would better promote program integrity and be more consistent with statutory purpose," the rule proposal reads.

Fox News Digital contacted DHS and the White House for further comment.
