540-Day work permit extension at risk: How the rollback could affect green card holders, H-1B spouses, and immigrants

Two Republican Senators have introduced a resolution to overturn a Biden-era rule extending work permit renewals from 180 to 540 days. The policy, which benefits immigrants and H-1B visa holders' spouses, aimed to prevent employment gaps. Repealing the extension could worsen labor shortages, disrupt industries like healthcare and tech, and create instability for immigrant workers and their families.
