H-1B、J-1等签证禁令延长到3月31日

移民与非移民工作签证禁令本该于2020年12月31日到期，不过在禁令失效的最后一天，特朗普宣布，延长移民与工作签证禁令至2021年3月31日，以保护美国本土劳工。

The immigrant and non-immigrant work visa ban was supposed to expire on December 31, 2020, but on the last day when the ban expired, Trump announced to extend the immigrant and work visa ban to March 31, 2021 to protect the United States labor.

签证限制令延长到2021年3月1日

特朗普于6月22日签署了一项行政令，要求在12月31日前暂停签发H-1B（技术工作签证）、H-2B（短期工作签证）、H-4（H-1B配偶签证）、L-1（跨国公司管理人员签证）和某些J-1（访问学者签证），已经持有效签证与身在美国的人不受影响。

白宫在特朗普的原始命令即将到期前数小时发布了公告。除非2021年3月31日前拜登政府取消该签证禁令，否则持该签证者将被禁止入境。

受疫情影响，美国经济尚未完全从疫情中复苏，一些保守派团体日前向特朗普政府施压，要求延长签证暂停期。特朗普面对来自盟友的压力，将签证限制令延长到2021年。

这项禁令不仅不会为美国人"开放"工作，而且会破坏和影响经济复苏。当美国公司找不到美国工人来承担一份工作，而外国工人不能凭借签证进入美国，跨国公司很可能就会在美国境外开设工厂或者扩大业务。此外，当选总统拜登承诺要撤销特朗普的许多移民政策。

Trump signed an executive order on June 22 to suspend the issuance of H-1B (skilled work visa), H-2B (short-term work visa), and H-4 (H-1B spouse visa) before December 31 ), L-1 (manager visa for multinational companies) and certain J-1 (visiting scholar visas), those who already hold a valid visa and are in the United States will not be affected.

The White House issued an announcement hours before Trump's original order was about to expire. Unless the Biden government lifts the visa ban before March 31, 2021, holders of this visa will be barred from entering the country.

Affected by the epidemic, the US economy has not yet fully recovered from the epidemic. Some conservative groups have recently put pressure on the Trump administration to extend the visa suspension period. Trump faced pressure from allies to extend the visa restriction order to 2021.

Not only will this ban not "open" jobs for Americans, it will also undermine and affect the economic recovery. When American companies cannot find American workers to take on a job, and foreign workers cannot enter the United States with visas, multinational companies are likely to open factories or expand operations outside the United States. In addition, President-elect Biden promised to revoke many of Trump's immigration policies.
