国土安全部拟取消非移民雇员60天裁量宽限期：意见期11月10日美东时间午夜截止，涵盖H-1B等8类签证、现行规则仍有效
华盛顿—美国国土安全部（DHS）一项题为《取消裁量性60天宽限期》（Eliminating the Discretionary 60-Day Grace Period）的拟议规则，公众意见期将于11月10日（星期二）美东时间午夜前截止。该提案于9月11日刊登于《联邦公报》（91 FR 57807），案号为 USCIS-2026-0364，法规识别号 RIN 1615-AD22。这是一项拟议规则、尚未生效；现行宽限期规定目前仍然有效。
现行规定见《联邦法规》第8编第214.1(l)(2)条：E-1、E-2、E-3、H-1B、H-1B1、L-1、O-1 与 TN 八类就业类非移民签证持有人在其合格就业结束后，可由裁量获得最长60天的时间，在此期间不因停止工作本身而被视为未维持身份；其家属同受覆盖。该宽限期本身不授权就业，国土安全部可按裁量缩短或取消个案的宽限期。
提案内容方面，国土安全部拟删除上述第214.1(l)(2)条，并对第204.5(p)(1)(i)条作关联技术修订。若按提案定版，相关人员在主要申请人的合格就业结束次日起即被视为未维持身份；入境时获得的最多10天入境前后期限不替代就业中途终止后的这一保护。提案未载明实施日期，也未对已经开始的宽限期载明过渡保护。
程序方面，意见须通过联邦规则制定门户 Regulations.gov 按案号 USCIS-2026-0364 提交。据该门户截至11月2日的记录，该提案已收到27,123条意见。意见期结束后，国土安全部须审议意见再决定是否发布最终规则；在最终规则发布并生效前，现行60天宽限期继续适用。
In Washington, the public comment period on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed rule titled "Eliminating the Discretionary 60-Day Grace Period" closes before midnight Eastern Time on Tues
Under the current rule at 8 CFR 214.1(l)(2), workers in the E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1, and TN classifications — and their dependents — may receive a discretionary grace period of up to 60 days after their qualifying employment ends, during which they are not considered to have failed to maintain status solely because they stopped working. The grace period does not itself authorize employment, and DHS may shorten or eliminate it in individual cases as a matter of discretion.
The proposal would delete 8 CFR 214.1(l)(2) and make a related technical change at 8 CFR 204.5(p)(1)(i). If finalized as proposed, affected workers and dependents would fail to maintain status beginning the day after the principal's qualifying employment ends, and the separate admission periods of up to 10 days would not replace that protection after a mid-validity termination. The proposal specifies no implementation date and no transition protection for a grace period already underway.
Comments are submitted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal, Regulations.gov, under docket USCIS-2026-0364. Portal records as of November 2 showed 27,123 comments filed on the proposal. After the comment period closes, DHS must review the comments before deciding whether to issue a final rule; until a final rule is published and takes effect, the current 60-day grace period continues to apply.
