US Presidential advisory panel recommends extending H-1B visa's grace period

The US Presidential sub-committee has advised that the federal government extend the grace period for thousands of retrenched H-1B workers from the existing 60 days to 180 days so that they have enough opportunities to find a new job or other alternatives. This would provide affected employees with more time to navigate the complex and time-consuming process of finding new employment opportunities and transferring their H-1B status.
