Travel Ban Update - New Countries Added
On January 31, 2020, President Trump signed a presidential proclamation suspending certain immigrant visa issuance to foreign nationals from several countries, with some exceptions. Immigrant visas allow persons to enter the U.S. as permanent residents (green card holders). Nonimmigrant visas (e.g., F-1, J-1, H-1B) are not impacted by the latest presidential proclamation.
