Indian IT services firms, including LTIMindtree, face potential operational disruptions from a proposed U.S. policy change. The Trump administration plans to eliminate the 60-day grace period currently granted to H-1B visa holders after job loss.
This existing window allows workers time to find new employment or transfer their visa status. The proposed removal would require foreign nationals to depart the country immediately upon termination.
LTIMindtree relies on the H-1B program to staff its U.S. operations. The policy change would increase logistical challenges for offboarding, raise operational costs, and weaken talent retention strategies for IT firms with a significant American presence.
