> However, as of January 17, 2017, foreign professionals under the H-1B visa will have a 60-day grace period if their employment is terminated.
Note that the time given to leave after the end of the regular employment term is still 10 days, and that is a point of confusion for some people. IMO, 10 days, while tight, is not unreasonable if you know it’s coming far in advance.
Let me make it very clear that I am not trying to make a value judgment about the H1B visa program — rather, I just want to get some facts straight for others who are reading.
- mpweiher 9y agoThanks for the update about the change of the rules. When I was in the US on an H1B, the pro-forma rule was still "you have to be outside the country immediately".
- eeZah7Ux 9y agoIn most of Europe and other developed countries a 2-3 month period for termination + leaving would be considered normal. 10 days would be considered unreasonable and very harsh by most people I know.
- csa 9y agoMaybe one of us is misunderstanding. 10 days is just at the end of your regular contract — that is, something that is determined very far in advance. 60 days if you are terminated.
