For example, those that: are critical to the defense, law enforcement, diplomacy, or national security of the United States; are involved with the provision of medical care to individuals who have contracted COVID-19 and are currently hospitalized; are involved with the provision of medical research at United States facilities to help the United States combat COVID-19; or are necessary to facilitate the immediate and continued economic recovery of the United States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The proclamation becomes effective June 24, 2020 and expires December 31, 2020.

Disappointed by today\u2019s proclamation &#8211; we\u2019ll continue to stand with immigrants and work to expand opportunity for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apple CEO Tim Cook also provided his take on the order. \u201cLike Apple, this nation of immigrants has always found strength in our diversity, and hope in the enduring promise of the American Dream. There is no new prosperity without both. Deeply disappointed by this proclamation.\u201d In FY 2019, Apple had 3,422 H-1B approvals.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook released a statement as well. \u201cHighly-skilled visa holders play a critical role in driving innovation \u2013 at Facebook and at organizations across the country \u2013 and that\u2019s something we should encourage, not restrict.\u201d In FY 2019, Facebook had 3,505 H-1Bs approved.<\/p>\n<p>The Migration Policy Institute estimates the proclamation will keep 219,000 temporary workers out of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>As the proclamation is implemented, we will have a better idea of its impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New restrictions on the issuance of non-immigrant visas.
