Latest News:<\/strong> Today, President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending the ban on issuance of green cards and suspending US employment visas including H1B till the end of this calendar year. Reportedly, it will help the administration free up over 5 lakh jobs for Americans in the COVID19-affected economy. The suspension of non-immigrant US work visas also applies to H2 visa in non-agricultural sectors. The temporary freeze on fresh issuance of visas to foreign nationals will take effect immediately. The Trump administration is also mulling over an altogether different way of granting 85,000 H1B visas to replace the lottery system, an official said on condition of anonymity. Those foreign nationals being offered the highest wages are likely to be prioritized for H1B visa in a major restructure to the most popular employment visa program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The ripple effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on the US economy manifests itself most distinctly in the restrictions that the White House is considering to curb immigration further<\/strong> and save American jobs for the locals. On one hand, the US economy is opening up in a calibrated manner, and on the other, the passage into the land of American Dreams is being blocked through highly anticipated suspension of US employment visas for foreign nationals. Reportedly, the White House is considering suspension of H1B, L1 and J1 visas in the new proposal for another executive order focused on boosting employment for Americans.<\/p>\n
