H-1B visa ban in place until 3/31

Although President Biden rescinded Presidential Proclamation 10014 (suspending the entry to the United States of certain immigrant visa applicants) on February 24, 2021, Presidential Proclamation 10052, which suspends the entry of certain nonimmigrant visa applications, remains in effect until at least March 31, 2021. The suspensions in Presidential Proclamation 10052 applies to applicants for H-1B, H-2B, and L-1 visas; J-1 visa applicants participating in the intern, trainee, teacher, camp counselor, au pair, or summer work travel programs; and any spouses or children of covered applicants applying for H-4, L-2, or J-2 visas. DOS updated its guidance related to National Interest Exemptions for individuals subject to PP 10052, although the eligibility requirements do not appear to have changed.
