Important Note: This remains a proposal under review and has NOT entered into force.Circulated claims that “the 60‑day grace period has already been abolished” are false. At this stage the proposal has only passed initial review by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). No formal regulatory text has been published, no public‑comment period has opened, and no effective date has been set. Under U.S. federal rule‑making procedures, revision, publication and implementation will be a protracted process. The 60‑day grace period remains legally valid for the time being.
For Chinese companies with an established U.S. subsidiary and qualifying equity linkage between Chinese and U.S. entities, the L‑1 is the preferred compliant route for sending corporate executives and key technical specialists. It has no annual numerical cap and does not require H‑1B lottery participation, delivering far greater stability than alternative visas.
‑ L‑1B for Specialized‑Knowledge Professionals: For key technical personnel possessing proprietary corporate know‑how, in‑house systems or exclusive business workflows. Maximum stay of 5 years. General‑skill and standard‑role petitions currently face high rejection rates, and adjudications will grow even more rigorous under the prospective new rules.
H‑1B is subject to annual quota lotteries and wage‑level competition, producing highly unpredictable outcomes. Coupled with the proposed elimination of the unemployment grace period, H‑1B holders risk immediate status invalidation upon job loss with no fallback buffer. Risk exposure is substantial. It is suitable primarily for externally‑hired specialist‑technical roles and is not recommended for internal corporate expatriate assignments.
