On June 22, 2020, President Trump issued an addendum to Presidential Proclamation 10014, effectively suspending entry of various non-resident alien visa categories. The full provisions of the Proclamation can be consulted on the White House website. This announcement follows the initial suspension on April 22, 2020.
Quick facts:
•This proclamation took effect Wednesday June 24, 2020 and will be in effect until December 31, 2020, if not extended.
•The H-1B, H-2B, L and J visa categories are concerned (includes J-1 Interns and Trainees).
•This proclamation applies to new applicants and will not invalidate the current visas of current visa holders.
Pursuant to the proclamation, we are immediately suspending the processing of new, incoming Exchange Visitor requests (J-1) while the Proclamation is in effect.
While Exchange Visitor Interns and Trainees may complete their mission in cities throughout the United States, sponsorship of the program is centralized at the FACC New York Chapter.
