Story time. I graduated into the recession (2009) and got a grueling EE job on my J-1, after about a year and some change I could not take it anymore. Hundreds of applications and many months later “you are pretty good but we aren’t going to bother with sponsoring your visa” was basically all I got.
I was facing the reality of having to go back to “my country”, but I had no surviving family, no money and no support system. I didn’t really have anywhere to go back to. It was scary. Ultimately I ended up having to get married to remain in the country where all my personal belongings were.
So I do agree, 60 days is not enough time, it should depend on how long you have been in the country.
Second time I felt that way was 2016 when trump became president, my coworker, canadian national of iranian background, also a GC holder was denied entry back to the US after he went to a conference in Canada, because Trump.
It was mortifying, that someone could arbitrarily decide you are just not allowed to come back to the place you’ve been living in for years.
