On April 22, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order limiting immigration, temporarily blocking entry into the United States of certain foreign nationals currently outside of the United States seeking U.S. permanent residency. The order goes into effect at 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 23, 2020, and will be in effect for at least 60 days. Importantly, the order does not apply to temporary workers, such as those with H-1B, H-2B, L-1, or TN visa status. The limitation only applies to individuals who are outside of the United States, do not have valid immigrant visas issued before the effective date of the order, and do not otherwise have official travel documents other than an immigrant visa issued before the effective date of the order.*
