Sudden termination notice for a J-1 visa holder
I’m a J-1 visa holder. I received a sudden termination notice telling me to leave the country immediately. I’d like to know how to handle this.
I’ve read that a Grace Period is given — I’d like to know if I can stay for a month.
J-1 holders, like H-1B holders, are subject to immediate departure upon termination. However, it’s common to be granted a Grace Period providing a month to prepare to leave the U.S. However, if the termination was for cause (your own fault), you’d be required to leave immediately without a Grace Period.
