President Trump issued a Proclamation, effective June 23, 2020, which continues Proclamation 10014 suspending entry of immigrants.
The Proclamation suspends and limits the entry of any individual seeking entry pursuant to any of the following nonimmigrant visas:
- an H-1B or H-2B visa, and any individual accompanying or following to join such individual;
- a J visa, to the extent the individual is participating in an intern, trainee, teacher, camp counselor, au pair, or summer work travel program, and any individual accompanying or following to join such individual; and
- an L visa, and any individual accompanying or following to join such individual.
The Proclamation applies to any individual who:
- is outside the United States on the effective date of the proclamation;
- does not have a nonimmigrant visa that is valid on the effective date of the proclamation; and
- does not have an official travel document other than a visa (such as a transportation letter, an appropriate boarding foil, or an advance parole document) that is valid on the effective date of the proclamation or issued on any date thereafter that permits him or her to travel to the United States and seek entry or admission.
The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 2 of this proclamation shall not apply to:
- any lawful permanent resident of the United States;
- any individual who is the spouse or child of a United States citizen;
- any individual seeking to enter the United States to provide temporary labor or services essential to the United States food supply chain; and
- any individual whose entry would be in the national interest as determined by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or their respective designees.
