The Non-immigrant Proclamation, signed by President Trump on June 22nd, 2020, suspended the entry of immigrants and non-immigrants deemed a risk to the U.S. labor market during the economic recovery from the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak. This proclamation, effective June 24th, 2020, and in place until December 31, 2020 (with potential extensions), specifically impacts nonimmigrant visa categories including H-1B, H-2B, L intracompany transferees, and J1 trainees and interns.
