On June 22, 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning entries of certain work visa holders. The summary of the executive order is as follows:
This executive order is effective on June 24, 2020 and is scheduled to remain in place through “December 31, 2020, and may be extended beyond that date. Within 30 days of June 24, 2020 and every 60 days thereafter while this proclamation is in effect, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Labor, recommend any modifications as may be necessary.”
To minimize the impact on recruitment of the labor force, and to allow existing employees to reenter, we suggest employers/companies should carefully consider other visa options unaffected by this Order. These visa options include:
In addition, those who applied for H-1B change of status within the U.S. are not affected by this ban either. Please keep in mind that this proclamation and ban also works with the COVID-19 travel ban and closure in the U.S. Consulates.
