Biden revokes Trump’s visa suspension for temporary foreign workers
President Joe Biden has revoked former President Donald Trump’s order that limited the number of new work visas for temporary foreign workers in the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The suspension of entry imposed in Proclamation 10014… does not advance the interests of the United States.
“To the contrary, it harms the United States, including by preventing certain family members of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents from joining their families here,” Biden said in the order provided by the White House on Wednesday.
In June 2020, Trump signed a proclamation that suspended specific categories of non-immigrant work visas as part of an effort to revive the U.S. economy amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The list includes H-1B visas for work in high-tech industries and a range of others for low-skill workers, interns, teachers, and company transfers.
