🚨 H-1B 60-Day Grace Period: Don’t Panic. It has NOT disappeared yet.
DHS has proposed eliminating the up-to-60-day grace period after employment ends — but this is not a final rule. The current grace period remains in place while the rulemaking process continues.
For many Bay Area H-1B families, this isn't just about finding the next job.
You may have a $1M–$2M home, a mortgage, kids in school, and years of your life built here. Those 60 days can provide critical time to understand your immigration options and make decisions about your home — whether that's keeping it, renting it, selling it, or planning for a move.
There is also a public-comment period on the proposed rule. If your company employs H-1B workers, talk to your HR or immigration team about reviewing the proposal and its real-world impact.
Most importantly: stay positive. 🙏
Don’t make decisions out of panic. Understand your options, make a plan, and keep moving forward.
Just like a fixer-upper, something that looks difficult today can be rebuilt with the right plan.
