BREAKING: June 22, 2020

The Trump Administration has announced that the president will issue an Executive Order suspending the issuance of new work visas abroad, including H-1B visas, H-2B visas, L Intracompany Transferees and J-1 Exchange Visitors, through at least October 1, 2020, a move that will severely curtail the entry of foreign labor into the United States.  The suspension is intended to bolster the job market for U.S. workers during the coronavirus pandemic, however critics question the economics behind the policy and suggest the suspension could lead to a reduction in U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and could hurt U.S. techology companies.

Stay tuned for further developments.
