Effective immediately, the Biden administration decided on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, to revoke Presidential Proclamation 10014, a controversial order passed under former President Donald Trump that halted the issuance of most U.S. visas at Consulates and Embassies worldwide.
President Biden’s proclamation applies only to immigrant visa applicants. It does not rescind Proclamation 10052 that suspended the issuance of certain H-1B, L-1, J-1 visas, mainly for first-time applicants, and the respective visa categories for dependent family members (H-4, L-2, and J-2) continues in effect through 3/31/2021 or until further notice.
