On December 31, 2020, President Trump issued a proclamation continuing Proclamations 10014 and 10052, which suspended the entry of certain immigrants and nonimmigrants into the United States in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The White House issued a proclamation hours before Trump's original orders were set to expire. As a result, the entry of immigrants (intending permanent residents) and nonimmigrants on various visas will be prohibited through March 31, 2021 unless the incoming Biden administration rescinds the bars before then.
