The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) received reports on June 19, 2020 that a general agreement had been reached on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 on a proposed update to Presidential Proclamation 10014 (the existing travel restrictions, in effect since 4/23/2020). We understand that the update may be announced and effective imminently. AILA believes that that any extension or expansion of the Proclamation must happen before it expires at 11:59 pm on Monday June 22, 2020. Reports seem to confirm that the nonimmigrant visa categories H-1B, H-2B, L-1, and J-1 will be impacted by the updated proclamation, but that there will be exceptions. We continue to monitor this and will post further updates as developments occur.
