On Wednesday, the US Immigration Service blazoned that people visiting the country on a B- 1 or B- 2 business or sightseer visa can now apply for new jobs and indeed share in interviews. Before starting any new job, a solicitation and request for a change of status from B-1 or B-2 to authorized employment must be approved, and the new status must take effect. However, the existent must leave the United States and be admitted into an employment-authorized bracket before beginning the new job if the change of status request or solicitation for new employment is denied through consular or harborage of entry.
This comes as numerous US companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, have laid off workers, including nonimmigrant workers. Numerous nonimmigrant workers are ignorant of their options and may, in some cases, mistakenly believe they've no choice but to leave the country within 60 days. The maximum grace period of 60 days begins the day after employment is terminated, which is generally determined by the last day for which a payment or pay envelope is paid. However, he or she and their dependents may be forced to leave the United States within 60 days or when their visa's authorized validity period expires, whichever is sooner, if the worker doesn't act within the grace period.
