Presidential Proclamation Targets H-1B Workers

UPDATED: October 2, 2026

Federal courts have blocked attempts by the Trump Administration to impose high fees on H-1B visas through presidential proclamations restricting entry to the U.S.

On September 19, 2026, the Trump Administration published a Presidential Proclamation extending the $100,000 H-1B entry fee, originally imposed pursuant to presidential proclamation on September 19, 2025. However, the fee remains blocked by court order. A separate federal court ruling on September 30, 2026 also granted a preliminary injunction blocking the rule, finding that plaintiffs were likely to succeed in their claims that the rule is unlawful. The court rulings do not address a proposed rule published in August to impose a fee of $103,265 on future H-1B cap-subject petitions; however, the proposed rule may be challenged on similar grounds.

Due to the court rulings, the fee is not currently in effect; however, the Trump administration is expected to continue to appeal. Employers should consult with legal counsel before filing H-1B petitions.

We will continue to provide updates as they become available.


USCIS Registration Requirements for Non-Citizens

Last updated April 14, 2025
USCIS Registration Requirement to Take Effect April 11, 2025
On March 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an Interim Final Rule mandating that certain non-U.S. citizens register with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) if they are not already registered. The rule is scheduled to take effect April 11, 2025.

On March 31, 2025, the American Immigration Council and partner organizations filed a lawsuit challenging the interim final rule. At the time of this writing, there is no change in the effective date.

Individuals in the U.S. who are not registered and do not have proof of inspection by an officer from their last entry (including those who are fully undocumented) should consult with legal counsel for specific legal advice. General information regarding your rights if stopped by law enforcement is available here.

What is the registration requirement?
The law requires non-U.S. citizens residing in the U.S. who are not already registered, to register with DHS.
All registered foreign nationals are required to carry proof of registration.
All foreign nationals are required to notify USCIS of a change of address by filing Form AR-11 within 10 days of moving.

Who is generally subject to the registration requirement?
The registration requirement applies to:

  • • Foreign nationals aged 14 and older: Non-U.S. citizens who were not fingerprinted or registered when applying for a U.S. visa and who plan to stay in the U.S. for 30 days or longer must register before the expiration of the 30 days.
  • • Foreign national children under 14: Parents or legal guardians must register children who were not registered upon visa application and who will remain in the U.S. for 30 days or longer. The registration must occur before 30 days are reached.
  • • Previously registered foreign national children turning 14 while in the United States: Children turning 14 must re-register and provide fingerprints within 30 days after their 14th birthday.

Who is already registered
Individuals considered to be registered already include:

  • • Lawful permanent residents (“green card” holders);
  • • Foreign nationals present in the United States who were issued immigrant or nonimmigrant visas before their last date of arrival;
  • • Foreign nationals admitted to the United States as nonimmigrants who were issued Form I-94 or I-94W (paper or electronic), even if the period of admission has expired;
  • • Foreign nationals paroled into the United States, even if the period of parole has expired;
  • • Foreign nationals whom DHS has placed into removal proceedings;
  • • Foreign nationals issued an employment authorization document (EAD);
  • • Foreign nationals who have applied for lawful permanent residence using Forms I-485, I-687, I-691, I-698, I-700, and provided fingerprints (unless waived), even if the applications were denied; and,
  • • Foreign nationals issued Border Crossing Cards.

Who is not considered registered?
The USCIS announcement specifically notes that the following groups are not considered to be registered:

  • • Those who entered the U.S. without inspection and admission, or admission and parole, who have otherwise not registered, i.e., those who are fully undocumented.
  • • Canadians who entered at a land port or ferry crossing and were not issued evidence of registration (Form I-94).
  • • Those who applied for immigration relief like asylum, DACA, TPS, U visas, T visas, S visas, and VAWA self-petitions, but who have not been issued evidence of that status (as listed in 8 CFR 264.1(b)).

Who is exempt from the general registration requirement?
The following individuals are considered exempt from the registration requirement:

  • • Officials of foreign governments and international organizations who have A or G visas;
  • • Native Americans born in Canada who possess at least 50% blood of the American Indian race who are present in the United States under the authority of 8 USC 1359; and,
  • • Foreign nationals who remain in the United States for less than 30 days.

Note, being exempt from the requirement entirely, as set forth above, is different than being considered to have been registered already. Most non-citizens in the U.S. who were issued an I-94 card at admission, or who possess an I-551, permanent resident card (“green card”), are already considered to be registered and do not need to take action to register. However, there are some notable instances where affirmative action must be taken to comply with the registration requirement:

  • • Non-citizen children under the age of 14 must register and appear for fingerprinting within 30 days of turning 14 in the United States.
  • • Canadian citizens entering the U.S. for business or tourism must take action to register within 30 days of admission if they were not issued an I-94 at admission.
    • • Canadian citizens entering by air should be issued an I-94 document; it is imperative to check the CBP I-94 website after admission to confirm issuance of the I-94.
    • • Canadians entering the U.S. at a land crossing or by ferry often are not issued an I-94. In this instance, the individual must register after admission if they intend to remain in the U.S. for more than 30 days. To avoid the need to register after entry, Canadian citizens entering the U.S. at a land or ferry crossing should confirm they are being issued an I-94. The fee for an I-94 is $6.00. The request for the I-94 at a land border can be made on the CBP Home Mobile Application.

How does one register?
Each individual not already considered registered must create their own USCIS Online Account. A parent or legal guardian of a foreign national under age 14 will need to set up an individual account on their child’s behalf, in their child’s name. Once the USCIS online account is created, the registrant must complete G-325R.
USCIS has published additional information about the registration requirement.

Steps include:

  • • Create USCIS Online Account
  • • Complete and submit Form G-325R online *Save form responses and/or screen shots before submitting, seek legal advice if needed, and save evidence of submission.
  • • Wait for USCIS Review
  • • Complete Biometrics, if required
  • • Download and carry proof of registration

If you require specific legal advice regarding requirements, your lawful immigration status, or prior contact with law enforcement or arrests impacting your status, please contact your legal representative.

What is the penalty for failure to comply with the registration requirement?
Those who do not comply with the registration and fingerprinting requirements will be subject to either a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up to six months, or both. Noncompliance may be considered a criminal offense. The same applies to the parents or guardians of those under the age of 14 who fail to comply.
Those who are 18 years or older must carry proof of their registration and fingerprinting at all times. Failure to do so could amount to a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment of not more than 30 days, or both. Again, this is a criminal offense.

Important Note

Registration does not provide legal immigration status or work authorization.

Trump Administration Expands Regional Travel Bans and Visa Restrictions

September 4, 2026

On June 4, 2025, the Trump administration issued a Proclamation, effective June 9, 2025, designating a list of 19 countries subject to full or partial bans on entry to the U.S.   On December 16, 2025, the Trump administration issued a new Proclamation expanding and revising restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals from designated countries and territories.  New rules and restrictions on 20 additional countries became effective January 1, 2026 at 12:01 EDT.

Please see the list of designated countries and information regarding the scope of restrictions and exceptions below. The Trump administration has implemented a number of restrictions through Presidential Proclamations, USCIS policies, and Department of State policies.  Regional travel bans restricting entry to the U.S. via proclamation remain in place.  As discussed below, USCIS and Department of State policies pausing certain adjudications and consular immigrant visa issuance have been challenged in the federal courts and litigation is ongoing.

Presidential Proclamations

Fully Restricted Countries
As of June 9, 2025, entry to the U.S. as nonimmigrants or immigrants is suspended for nationals of the following countries:

  • • Afghanistan
  • • Burma
  • • Chad
  • • Republic of Congo
  • • Equatorial Guinea
  • • Eritrea
  • • Haiti
  • • Iran
  • • Libya
  • • Somalia
  • • Sudan
  • • Yemen

Effective January 1, 2026, entry to the U.S. as nonimmigrants or immigrants is also suspended for nationals of the following countries:

  • • Burkina Faso
  • • Laos (formerly subject to partial visa restrictions)
  • • Mali
  • • Niger
  • • Sierra Leone (formerly subject to partial visa restrictions)
  • • South Sudan
  • • Syria

Foreign nationals with Palestinian Authority-issued or endorsed travel documents are also subject to restrictions on entry as nonimmigrants or immigrants.

Partially Restricted Countries

Entry to the U.S. pursuant to an immigrant visa or on a B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2 (business visitor/tourist), F and M (student), and J (exchange visitor) visa is suspended for nationals from the countries listed below.

The following countries designated in June 2025 remain on the list of partially restricted countries:

  • • Burundi
  • • Cuba
  • • Togo
  • • Venezuela

Effective January 1, 2026, partially restricted countries include:

  • • Angola
  • • Antigua and Barbuda
  • • Benin
  • • Cote d’Ivoire
  • • Dominica
  • • Gabon
  • • The Gambia
  • • Malawi
  • • Mauritania
  • • Nigeria
  • • Senegal
  • • Tanzania
  • • Tonga
  • • Zambia
  • • Zimbabwe

For Turkmenistan, restrictions on nonimmigrant visas imposed in June were lifted, but immigrant visa restrictions remain in place.

The new entry restrictions apply to foreign nationals from the designated countries who:

  • • were outside of the U.S. on January 1, 2026 and
  • • did not have a valid visa on January 1, 2026.

Exceptions to Travel Restrictions

The new Proclamation revises and, for some visa categories, limits the scope of prior exceptions. Under the new Proclamation, entry restrictions do not apply to:

  • • U.S. lawful permanent residents;
  • • Dual nationals of a restricted country when the individual is traveling on a passport issued by non-restricted country;
  • • Foreign nationals traveling with a valid nonimmigrant visa in the following classifications: A-1, A-2, C-2, C-3, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, NATO-1, NATO-2, NATO-3,NATO-4, NATO-5, or NATO-6;
  • • Any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the Secretary of State;
  • • Special Immigrant Visas for United States government employees; and
  • • Immigrant visas for ethnic and religious minorities facing persecution in Iran.

Notably, effective January 1, 2026, the new order no longer provides exceptions for those seeking entry on Immediate Relative immigrant visas, adoption-related immigrant visas (IR-3, IR-4, IH-3, IH-4) or Afghan Special Immigrant Visas.

The proclamation does not apply to any individual already granted asylum, refugees already admitted to the United States, or to individuals granted withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment (CAT). Nothing in the proclamation is intended to limit the rights of an individual to seek asylum, refugee status, withholding of removal, or protection under the CAT, consistent with the laws of the United States.

Additionally, the proclamation explicitly provides that no immigrant or nonimmigrant visa issued before the effective date shall be revoked pursuant to the proclamation. However, the fact that the visa has not been revoked does not mean it will remain valid for entry to the U.S. after the effective date.  Visas may be revoked for other reasons.

Discretionary Exceptions

The proclamation provides for a “national interest” exemption in cases where the Attorney General or the Secretary of State finds travel would be in the national interest of the United States. A national interest exemption is discretionary. The proclamation does not specify the scope of such exemptions and the procedure to request an exemption.

Periodic Review
The Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security and the Director for National Intelligence will periodically review whether the restrictions should be continued, terminated, modified or supplemented within 180 days of the proclamation and every 180 days thereafter.

USCIS Benefits Adjudication Pause

Nationals of travel ban countries based on citizenship and those born in any of the designated travel ban countries listed above may be subject to a pause on the processing of immigration benefits announced by USCIS in early December 2025.  The pause on USCIS processing may impact individuals from designated countries even if they are not restricted from travel and entry to the U.S.   As described below, federal courts have partially blocked implementation of the policy pending litigation.

In Dorcas vs. USCIS, several non-profit organizations and unions challenged USCIS policies pausing the grant of immigration benefits. On June 5, 2026, the federal district court in Rhode Island issued an order declaring that the USCIS benefits pause and related policies are unlawful.   On June 12, 2026, the Trump administration filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and requested a stay of the order pending appeal.   The appeals court partially stayed the order, allowing USCIS to review previously granted benefits but vacated other policies halting adjudication of all immigration benefits for applicants from “high-risk” countries.

On Aug. 24, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order enjoining related policy memos implementing the pause. On August 28, 2026, USCIS confirmed it will comply with the order and adjudicate applications in the normal course of USCIS’ process.

Dept of State Consular Processing Pause for Immigrant Visas

The Department of State announced a policy effective January 21, 2026 that paused issuance of immigrant visas (green card applications) by U.S. consulates for applicants who are nationals of 75 designated “high risk” countries.  Please visit the DOS website for the full list of countries impacted.   The Presidential Proclamations restricting entry remain in place.

On August 21, 2026, a federal court struck down the DOS policy.  The Trump administration is expected to appeal this decision.

Impact

Nationals from the designated countries should confer with legal counsel to understand the scope and impact of the travel restrictions and adjudication delays on their unique situation prior to departing the U.S.

We will continue to monitor the implementation of travel restrictions and provide updates as they become available. For additional information or specific legal advice, please contact your Van Der Hout representative.


F-1 ACADEMIC STUDENTS & J-1 EXCHANGE VISITORS

September 15, 2026

NEW DHS RULE BRINGS SWEEPING CHANGES FOR F-1 AND J-1 NONIMMIGRANTS

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a significant final rule that fundamentally alters how F-1 academic students and J-1 exchange visitors are admitted to the United States. On September 14, 2026, a federal judge granted nationwide preliminary relief, blocking the final rule from taking effect. The court postponed the rule’s effective date and prohibited the Department of Homeland Security and ICE from taking any further action to implement it while the litigation proceeds. See Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security et al., 1:26-cv-13799 (D. Mass., filed Aug. 18, 2026). The Trump Administration is expected to appeal the decision.

If implemented, the rule will:

  • • Eliminate the longstanding “duration of status” (D/S) admission framework and replace it with fixed admission periods, requiring individuals to seek affirmative extensions of stay from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) if additional time is needed to complete a program, change programs, or engage in post-completion practical training/employment.
  • • Place additional restrictions on permissible periods of study and program changes.
  • • Shorten the grace period available for F-1 students from 60 days to 30 days.

KEY CHANGES

Important: Effective dates and transition timelines discussed below have been postponed due to pending litigation.

“Duration of Status” (D/S) Admission Replaced with Fixed Admission Date

The most significant change is the elimination of D/S admission period for F and J nonimmigrants.

Under current law, F and J nonimmigrants generally remain in lawful status as long as they comply with the requirements of their academic or exchange visitor program as set forth on their I-20 or DS-2019, respectively.

Under the final rule, the admission period for F and J nonimmigrants will now expire on a specific date reflected on the I-94 admission document, referred to as the “Admit Until Date” or “AUD”. Individuals wishing to remain beyond the I-94 AUD must either:

  • • file an extension of stay with USCIS;
  • • depart the U.S. and seek readmission; or
  • • change to another lawful immigration status.

Like other nonimmigrants, F and J nonimmigrants who remain in the U.S. beyond the I-94 AUD will accrue unlawful presence if they have not timely filed an extension of status or change of status application.

New Admission Periods

The new rule establishes maximum initial admission periods for F and J nonimmigrants, as follows:

  • • F-1 students and F-2 dependents: F nonimmigrants will generally be granted admission for the length of the approved academic program, not to exceed 4 years, plus a 30-day grace period.
    • · Foreign nationals enrolled in English language programs, attending public school, or entering as commuter students will have a shorter admission period.
  • • J-1 exchange visitors and J-2 dependents: J nonimmigrants will generally be granted admission for the length of the approved exchange visitor program, not to exceed four years, plus a 30-day grace period, with extensions available, in certain instances, through USCIS.

Students and exchange visitors may continue to be admitted to the U.S. up to 30 days before their program start date as set forth on their respective I-20 or DS 2019. The advance admission period and the grace period do not count toward the 4-year maximum admission period.

Formal Extension of Status Applications Required

Individuals needing additional time to remain in the U.S. in F or J status beyond their I-94 AUD will now be required to file an I-539 extension of status application with USCIS.

An I-539 extension of status application must be filed with USCIS to:

  • • Extend academic or exchange visitor programs;
  • • Transfer schools;
  • • Start a new degree program;
  • • Change academic levels;
  • • Engage in post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) or academic training.

The rule also establishes new eligibility guidelines to qualify for extensions. For example, F-1 students seeking an extension of stay to complete an academic program will need to secure a new I-20 from their university and demonstrate compelling reasons why additional time is needed to complete the program.

Individuals filing an extension of status application may be required to appear for biometrics.

Transition Rules for “D/S” F and J Nonimmigrants

F and J nonimmigrants who were admitted for “D/S” and who are in the U.S. as of the rule’s effective date (September 15, 2026) will be subject to transition rules.

These “legacy” F and J nonimmigrants may remain in the U.S. with their “D/S” I-94 document, but they will be required to apply for an extension of stay to remain in the U.S. beyond their program end date specified on the I-20 (for F-1) or DS-2019 (for J-1) or their OPT EAD card, OR, four (4) years from the final rule effective date, whichever is shorter.

Legacy F nonimmigrants will retain a 60-day grace period. However, if they exit or reenter the U.S. or apply for an extension of stay after September 15, 2026, they will be subject to the new 30-day grace period.

A legacy F or J nonimmigrant who departs the U.S. and reenters on or after September 15, 2026 will be readmitted with a new I-94 annotated with an AUD (instead of “D/S”) and will be subject to the 30-day grace period.

Automatic Extension of Work Authorization

F and J nonimmigrants with work authorization may continue to benefit from automatic extensions of work authorization while the extension of status application is pending as follows:

  • • F-1 students who timely file a STEM OPT extension on form I-765 will continue to receive a 180-day auto-extension of their employment authorization while the application is pending.
  • • F-1 students with employment authorization for curricular practical training (CPT) will receive an automatic extension of employment authorization for up to 240 days while the application is pending.
  • • J nonimmigrants will continue to receive a 240-day extension of employment authorization while a timely filed extension of stay application is pending.

Additional Restrictions on Academic Programs

The rule will restrict the flexibility of undergraduate students to change majors or transfer schools.

The rule will prohibit graduate students from changing their majors at any time during their graduate studies. Graduate students may be eligible to transfer schools on a case-by-case basis.

Students who complete their academic programs after the rule’s effective date will be prohibited from pursuing another program of study at the same or lower academic level.

Deference to Previously Approved I-129 Petitions Remains

The proposed rule intended to eliminate the DHS rule that directs officers to give deference to prior approvals of I-129 petitions for nonimmigrant workers, where the extension petition is based on the same underlying facts. The final rule does not contain this provision; deference to prior I-129 approvals remains in place for now.

Conclusion

Implementation of the new rule will create significant organizational and administrative challenges for students, exchange visitors, academic institutions, exchange visitor sponsors, and employers.

The new rule is expected to:

  • • Increase costs for students and exchange visitors, including government filing fees and biometrics associated with the new required filings.
  • • Increase delays stemming from USCIS workloads and adjudication backlogs, which will now be compounded by additional required filings.
  • • Generate confusion for students and exchange visitors as the new rules are implemented and legacy F and J nonimmigrants are transitioned to the new scheme.
  • • Increase the administrative burden and necessitate training and ongoing compliance initiatives for Designated School Officials and Responsible Program Officers who administer academic and exchange visitor programs on behalf of their institutions.

DHS is expected to publish additional guidance in the weeks ahead and prior to rule implementation. We will continue to monitor the implementation of the rule and provide updates as they become available.

DHS Proposes to Eliminate 60-Day Grace Period for Certain Nonimmigrant Workers

September 11, 2026

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a proposed rule that would eliminate the discretionary 60-day grace period currently available to certain employment-based nonimmigrant workers following the cessation of employment. The proposal would represent a significant change for H-1B workers and other affected nonimmigrants who currently rely on the grace period to obtain new employment, pursue another immigration status, or otherwise arrange their departure from the United States.

DHS will accept public comments on the proposal until November 10, 2026. After DHS has reviewed and considered comments, it may publish a final rule. The final rule may be modified from the original proposal. The current 60-day grace period remains available until a final rule is implemented.

Who Would Be Affected?

The proposed rule would eliminate the 60-day grace period for nonimmigrants in the following classifications, as well as their qualifying dependents:

  • • E-1 treaty traders;
  • • E-2 treaty investors;
  • • E-3 Australian specialty occupation workers;
  • • H-1B specialty occupation workers;
  • • H-1B1 workers from Chile and Singapore;
  • • L-1 intracompany transferees;
  • • O-1 individuals of extraordinary ability or achievement; and
  • • TN professionals.

These classifications generally tie the individual’s lawful status to the employment or other qualifying activity that formed the basis for admission or approval.

What Is the Current 60-Day Grace Period?

Under current rules, an eligible worker whose employment ends may remain in the United States for up to 60 days, or until the end of the I-94 expiration period, whichever is shorter, without being considered to have failed to maintain status solely because employment has ceased. The grace period is discretionary and may be shortened by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

During the grace period, a worker could potentially:

  • • obtain a new job and have a new employer file an I-129 petition;
  • • change to another nonimmigrant classification, such as B-2 (tourist/visitor);
  • • pursue adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident status, if eligible; or
  • • make other arrangements to maintain lawful status or depart the United States.

What Would the Proposed Rule Change?

If finalized as proposed, the rule would eliminate the 60-day period following cessation of employment. Instead, an affected nonimmigrant generally would be considered to have failed to maintain status immediately following the cessation of the employment or activity that supported the nonimmigrant classification, unless the individual has another independent basis to remain lawfully in the United States and timely files an application to change or amend status.

Impact on H-1B Portability

The proposal could substantially change the practical operation of H-1B portability.

Under the current rules, an H-1B worker whose employment terminates may use the 60-day grace period to locate a new employer and have that employer file an H-1B petition requesting a change of employer and extension of stay. The grace period can provide a bridge between jobs. The H-1B worker may remain in the United States and may commence employment with the new employer once the new employer petition is filed.

Without the grace period, a worker who has already ceased employment generally would no longer be able to rely on the 60-day period to preserve H-1B status and remain in the United States while searching for a new position. Because an extension or change of status ordinarily requires the beneficiary to have maintained the prior status, the worker may not be eligible to change employers while in the U.S. and would instead need to depart the United States while awaiting approval of a new H-1B petition. If the worker also requires a visa for readmission to the U.S., the ability to secure a visa appointment at the U.S. consulate could significantly delay the sponsored worker’s ability to return to the United States.

The 10-Day Post-Petition Grace Period Remains

The proposed rule would not eliminate the 10-day grace period associated with the end of the petition validity period. The 10-day grace period generally applies only after the underlying petition validity period ends. It does not provide a grace period for a worker whose employment ends during the petition validity period.

Significant Impact on Employers and Workers

The proposed rule would make employment changes considerably more time-sensitive.

Workers facing termination or considering voluntary resignation would have substantially less flexibility to identify a new employer and preserve their ability to remain in the United States.

Employers aiming to hire a nonimmigrant worker whose underlying employment has ended should expect additional hurdles and longer timelines for hiring and onboarding the worker.

Employers contemplating termination of an H-1B, L-1, O-1, E-3, TN or other affected worker should also consider the immigration consequences to the worker earlier to facilitate appropriate planning.

No Immediate Change—Rule Is Only Proposed

DHS is soliciting public comments on the proposal for the next sixty days, until November 10, 2026. Unless and until a final rule is implemented, the 60-day grace period remains available.

Bottom Line

If finalized as proposed, DHS’s rule would mark a significant departure from current policy. Workers in H-1B, L-1, O-1, E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B1 and TN status would generally no longer have up to 60 days after termination of employment to remain in the United States while seeking new employment or another immigration solution. Instead, they would generally be expected to depart upon cessation of the employment or activity underlying their status, unless they have another independent basis for remaining lawfully in the United States.

Because this is only a proposed rule, no immediate action is required under the proposal. Nevertheless, nonimmigrant workers and their employers should begin assessing the potential immigration and operational impact now.
