Immigrant visa ban lifted

On February 24, 2021, President Biden rescinded Presidential Proclamation 10014 which prohibited the entry of certain immigrants into the United States due to possible harm to economic interests due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Although the immigrant visa ban has been revoked, Presidential Proclamation 10052 suspending the entry of nonimmigrant workers for the same reasons remains in effect.

The Department of State provided instructions to visa applicants who were previously subject to a ban on entry pursuant to PP 10014.
