On June 22, 2020, President Trump issued a new order, an updated proclamation suspending the entry of foreign nationals who present a risk to the U.S. labor market following the Coronavirus outbreak. The New Order continues and expands upon a previous order issued on April 22nd that temporarily suspended the entry of certain immigrants and lawful permanent residents for a period of 60 days.Continuing to cite high domestic unemployment, the New Order sustains a ban placed on certain immigrants and lawful permanent residents. In addition, the New Order also suspends the entry into the United States, of any foreign national worker who seeks to enter the country pursuant to the following nonimmigrant or temporary visa categories:

  • An H-1B or H-2B visa, and any dependent foreign nationals;
  • A J visa, to the extent the individual is entering the country to participate as an intern, trainee, teacher, camp counselor, au pair, or summer work travel program, and any dependent foreign nationals; and
  • An L visa, and any dependent foreign nationals.

Like the Previous Order, the New Order only applies to those foreign nationals who:

  • Are outside of the United States;
  • Do not possess a valid nonimmigrant visa; and
  • Do not have an official travel document other than a visa (ie. advance parole, boarding foil or transportation letter) that is valid.

There are also exceptions that apply to foreign nationals that are:

  • Lawful permanent residents of the United States;
  • Spouses and children of United States Citizens;
  • Foreign nationals seeking entry into the United States to provide temporary labor or services essential to the United States supply chain; and
  • Foreign nationals whose entry may be in the national interest to the United States.

Absolutely delighted with John from this firm with the way he counselled with suitable options available for me on migration to Canada, documentation submissions, query resolutions, visa processing and continued personal support and follow up until the last step. Would recommend this firm for anybody blindly looking for immigration help. They would guide you with complete transparency and professionalism.

Everyone in this office was incredibly supportive and helpful. In a situation that could have been very stressful, they took care of EVERYTHING. Thanks Jenny and Devika for providing exceptional service. Dealt with them for the second case, they kept me in loop for the whole process. Highly recommend using them again which in hindsight I will not have to but if you ever need legal help, they are definitely the people to go to!

I have worked with Jenny Mao over the past year and I am happy to say that she has helped me out immensely and I am extreme grateful for not only her professionalism, but for her hard work and determination. I highly reccomend Borders Law Firm. From my experience, they are the best in the GTA.
