US President Donald Trump has extended the suspension on the entry of certain immigrants and nonimmigrants into the United States in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The proclamations have been continued until March 31, 2021.
The limitations also stop many temporary visas used to work in the United States by individuals overseas, including the H-1B program. The proclamation suspends entry of nonimmigrants in the following categories: H-1B, H-2B, J (for aliens participating in an intern, trainee, teacher, camp counselor, au pair, or summer work travel program) and L, along with their spouses and children. No valid visas will be revoked under the proclamation.
The last proclamation was set to expire on December 31, Trump issued another proclamation on Thursday to extend it until March 31, 2021. The technology companies would now have to wait at least till the end of March before approaching the US diplomatic missions to get stamping.
