Employers of Visa Workers Remain in Limbo After Trump Ban’s End

Genevieve Douglas, Bloomberg Law, Apr. 13, 2021

"Employers of temporary visa holders are unlikely to see a quick return to normal even after last month’s expiration of a Trump order barring entry to the U.S. for certain foreign workers in response to pandemic-related job loss.  Nationals from China, Brazil, South Africa, and most of Europe are still restricted. Meanwhile, embassies and consulates abroad are facing ever-growing visa processing delays. Over the last nine months, employers of high-skilled visa workers turned to remote work options or relocating employees to offices abroad and those measures will have to stay in place for the time being, attorneys say."
