FULL WEBINAR ON TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER SUSPENDING IMMIGRATION

YESTERDAY President Trump did it again. He Extended and Broadened His 60-day Suspension of "Entry of Alien Workers Presenting a Risk to the U.S. Labor Market" from June 24, 2020 to December 31, 2020. 

The highlights: The previous Ban on most Businesses and Family Immigrants will continue without change. Notable Exceptions: EB-5 Investment Visas that are intended to create 10 Jobs per Investor. See Analysis below in our Video featuring J. Kaleyias from EB-5 Capital and Eliot Norman, Esq. 

What's new? President Trump extends his Ban for the first time to nonimmigrant or temporary business and work visas. These include new visas for L-1s for International Corporate Transfers, the H-1B for professionals, the H-2B for seasonal workers and J-1 interns and trainees. Principal exceptions: existing visa holders, workers needed to fight Covid-19, or who are essential to the food supply chain. U.S. investment visas (E-2 and EB-5 Green Cards) remain exempt. 

​Conclusion: The Suspension's unprecedented "assault" on business visas means that companies who want to grow sales and profits in the United States should invest here.
