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.

Param Tooray Me and my wife turned to Borders Law Firm when I was trying to migrate to Canada as I am a UK citizen and my wife was born in Canada. They made the process really easy for us guiding us all the way. I am now a permanent resident in Canada thanks to Jenny and Devika. We would definitely recommend this firm to anyone looking to move to Canada you will not be disappointed!!
Annie Caplan Devika and John were excellent. They understood how this process would change my life and helped me get to the US. John was extremely kind and thorough. When my employer in the US ended up trying to take advantage of me, they helped me transfer my visa to a new employer and had so much empathy for my situation and now I have a job in California that makes me so happy while helping others. I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to my status going forward.
Baljinder Singh 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!
ravinder kaur I and my family want to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Devika, John and the team at Borders Law firm for assisting us with the PRTD application at a time when most processing was closed due to lockdowns. They also worked proactively with us to establish a good strategy with back up plans which gave us sufficient information and assurance. Very responsive and forthcoming with information. Proactive in processing but at the same time they put enough time in the application and the supporting details to have high quality of the application. As a result our application was processed in 1 go at a time when it was critical and sensitive time for the family. Thank you again.
