What was announced?
DHS has proposed removing the discretionary grace period of up to 60 days following employment cessation for specified nonimmigrant categories and their dependants. The notice is a proposal, with comments due November 10.
GBP perspective
This could affect family plans, but the proposal does not itself eliminate the grace period.
What to check now
Review family members’ status, I-94 expiry dates and employment-transition plans.
