By: Vaughn G. T. Cook and Newton J. Chu On April 22, 2020, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation entitled “Proclamation Suspending Entry of Immigrants Who Present Risk to the U.S. Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the COVID-19 Outbreak” (“Proclamation”). The Proclamation is effective beginning Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 11:59 PM Eastern and suspends the entry of any individual seeking to enter the U.S. as an immigrant who:
Expiration: The Proclamation expires 60 days from its effective date (i.e., on June 22, 2020) and may be continued as necessary. Within 50 days from the effective date, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) shall, in consultation with the Secretaries of State and Labor, recommend whether the President should continue or modify the Proclamation EXEMPTIONS: The Proclamation exempts the following nine (9) categories of people from its application:
The determination of whether an individual falls within one of the exempted categories listed above is within the discretion of the U.S. consular officer considering the request for exemption. It is important to note that nonimmigrant visa holders are NOT included in the Proclamation. This includes visitors on B-1 or B-2 visas and temporary work visa categories such as H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, L-1A, L-1B, TN, E-1, E-2, E-3, O, P and R. It also does NOT affect students on F or M visas or exchange visitors on J visas. However, the Proclamation does leave the door open to review of these nonimmigrant visa programs by requiring that, within 30 days of the effective date, the U.S. Secretaries of Labor and Homeland Security, in consultation with the U.S. Secretary of State, shall review nonimmigrant programs and recommend to the President other appropriate measures to stimulate the U.S. economy and ensure “the prioritization, hiring and employment” of U.S. workers. Asylum seekers are not included in the ban. The Proclamation states that it does not limit the ability of individuals to apply for asylum, refugee status, withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture. Additionally, individuals who circumvent the application of this Proclamation through fraud, willful misrepresentation or illegal entry will be prioritized for removal.
