Bipartisan Bill Proposes 30-Day Premium Processing for PERM Green Card Applications

A bipartisan pair of U.S. lawmakers has introduced legislation that could, for the first time, bring a fast-track option to one of the most notorious bottlenecks in the American employment-based green card system: the Department of Labor's PERM labor certification process. Congressmen Lou Correa (D-CA) and Glenn Grothman (R-WI) introduced the PERM Backlog Reduction Act on August 13, 2026. They have proposed an optional premium processing program that would let employers pay a fee to get a 30-day decision on Form ETA-9089, the Permanent Employment Certification Form at the heart of the PERM system.

State Department Moves to Overhaul J-1 Exchange Visitor Rules and Strip the Grace Period for Terminated Programs
State Department Moves to Overhaul J-1 Exchange Visitor Rules and Strip the Grace Period for Terminated Programs

For over 25 years, the regulations governing America’s J-1 Exchange Visitor Program have barely changed. It remained a relic of a paper-based era that predates SEVIS, the government’s electronic tracking system, by four years. That is now set to change. On last July 30, 2026, the US Department of State published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would rewrite how J-1 programs are terminated, and reinstated. The notice handed the department new discretionary power to end a participant’s status directly. It has also tightened the deadlines for corrections, and, notably, argued for doing away with a grace period. Exchange visitors have long relied on this period to wind down their affairs and leave the country in an orderly way. However, the proposed rule has placed the J-1 into a double jeopardy like never before.

H-1B Shock for Indians: US Clears Plan to Scrap the 60-Day Grace Period for Foreign Workers

Previously, one small regulatory cushion has stood between an H-1B worker's sudden job loss and an immediate scramble to leave the country: the 60-day grace period.

Here, our EB-1A experts have discussed how the disappearance of the 60-day grace period could impact the H-1B workers in the US.
