Effective Date:<\/strong> February 28, 2025<\/p>\n

On February 28, 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)<\/strong> announced a major policy change affecting nonimmigrant visa holders. Under this new guidance, USCIS will now issue Notices to Appear (NTAs)<\/strong> to foreign nationals whose Change of Status (COS)<\/strong> o Change of Employer (COE)<\/strong> petitions are denied<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Antecedentes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Previously, individuals in the following visa categories were generally allowed a 60-day grace period<\/strong> (or the time remaining on their I-94<\/strong>, whichever was shorter) to depart the United States<\/strong> o file another petition<\/strong> to extend or change status after employment ended or a petition was denied:<\/p>\n
