USCIS has previously acknowledged that the 60-day period gives unemployed foreign workers time to seek new employment and explore other immigration options. The impact could extend beyond H1B workers. The existing framework also covers categories including E1, E2, E3, H1B1, L1, O1 and TN, as well as eligible dependents. For Indians, the H1B category is likely to be the most closely watched because Indian professionals make up a large share of H1B beneficiaries.
