1Does the new USCIS policy regarding unlawful presence include a grace period
USCIS just released a new policy memorandum last Friday:
https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-changing-policy-accrued-unlawful-presence-nonimmigrant-students-and-exchange-visitors
I am wondering if in your estimation this new policy change includes a grace period for those transitioning between the F/M/J Visas and another, like an employment-based Visa.
My interpretation is that if I transition between the F/J/M within 180 days, I will not be subject to bars of admission. But that period will technically be added to my total period of "unlawful presence", which could count towards the maximum 1-year limit, potentially increasing my risk for permanent inadmissibility!

According to the new policy memo, USCIS intends to revise the text of section 40.9.2(b)(3)(D) "Nonimmigrants - Effect of a Decision on the Request for Extension of Status (EOS) or Change of Status (COS) on Unlawful Presence." Under the revised text, if an alien's COS request is deniedbased on frivolous filings, unauthorized employment, or untimely filings, the alien will start accruingunlawful presence on the earliest of the events as outlined in the memo. If, however, a time-filedCOS request is denied for non-frivolous reasons,unlawful presence begins to accrue the day after the request is denied (USCIS does not indicate any change concerning this specific COS circumstance).
