President Joe Biden has revoked former President Donald Trump’s order that limited the number of new work visas for temporary foreign workers in the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The
suspension of entry imposed in Proclamation 10014… does not advance the
interests of the United States.
“To the
contrary, it harms the United States, including by preventing certain family
members of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents from joining
their families here,” Biden said in the order provided by the White House on
Wednesday.
In June 2020,
Trump signed a proclamation that suspended certain categories of non-immigrant
work visas as part of an effort to revive the U.S. economy amid the novel
coronavirus pandemic.
The list
includes H-1B visas for work in high-tech industries and a range of others for
low-skill workers, interns, teachers, and company transfers.
