Banta Immigration Law

01/25/2017

Today, what is purported to be a leaked draft executive order on immigration has surfaced in the news media, and it has global implications for those seeking to travel to the U.S. See: http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/world/read-the-draft-of-the-executive-order-on-immigration-and-refugees/2289/.

Along with significant changes to the U.S.' refugee program, the executive order would have two key impacts on other U.S.-bound travelers. First, the order would immediately suspend the visa waiver program, which enables citizens of 38 high-income, developed countries to enter the U.S. for short-term visits without scheduling an appointment at a U.S. consulate or embassy. The visa waiver program countries consist of the bulk of Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, South Korea, and Singapore, among others.

In fiscal year 2013, 20 million people entered the U.S. under the visa waiver program. If this policy is enacted, each of these individuals would need to attend an in-person visa appointment, which may create a backlog at U.S. Consulates and Embassies abroad. In addition, given that the visa waiver program is grounded in reciprocal agreements, U.S. citizens and permanent residents may now be required to attend visa interviews to travel from the U.S. to visa waiver program countries.

Second, the order would immediately create a 30-day suspension of issuance of immigrant and non-immigrant visas to countries “detrimental to the interests of the United States,” rumored to include Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and possibly Afghanistan.

Banta Immigration Law will monitor the situation closely. Please contact Banta Immigration Law if you have questions about your immigration options.

The draft of the executive order, titled "Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals," calls for a policy that halts issuance of visas to individuals located in "countries of particular concern."

o Below is an overview of his statements, which are subject to change based on usage or new developments:
His office is concerned again this year that the EB-5 numbers for China are moving too fast and there could be a cut-off for China EB-5 in June 2014 or later, if usage remains at the current levels. Worldwide EB-5 usage is up as well.
The India EB-2 cutoff date is expected to retrogress from June 2008 (which is what it is in the November 2013 Visa Bulletin) to 2004 or 2005 in December 2013. This is due in large part to Indian nationals "upgrading" from EB-3 to EB-2.
India EB-3 will continue to move very slowly.
Worldwide EB-2 is expected to remain current.

o Federal investigators said Wednesday that they had uncovered numerous cases in which Infosys had brought in Indian workers on B-1 visas, to do work not allowed under that visa
