Many non-immigrant workers in the U.S. who have been laid off may still have options to remain in the country, thanks to a discretionary 60-day grace period offered by USCIS. This period begins immediately after termination and requires careful planning to navigate effectively.
Key Details:
- A 60-day grace period is available for many non-immigrant visa holders after layoff.
- Founders can qualify for H-1B sponsorship through their own startups under the 2025 H-1B modernization rule.
- O-1 visas are available for startup founders, AI professionals, engineers, researchers, and executives.
- Delaying the assessment of immigration options can limit available pathways.
This grace period can serve as a critical opportunity for affected individuals to explore their immigration options and continue their careers in the U.S. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
