Trump signed a pretty minor amendment tonight regarding the 6/22 EO

From the USCIS site:

“Monday’s presidential proclamation temporarily restricts certain categories of visas from being issued to protect jobs for American workers while our economy recovers from the effects of COVID-19. This does not affect those currently working in the U.S. on valid H-1B or similar visas. The proclamation also does not prevent individuals in possession of valid visas prior to the effective date of the proclamation from entering or re-entering the country, if they have been abroad, provided they have not otherwise rendered themselves inadmissible.

The U.S. will continue to honor these already valid visas as we help American workers get back on their feet.” – USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow

I dont know why the government tries to make it as dumb and ambiguous as the presidency. Simple language that says "if you already have a visa - you can travel". if you dont have a visa - a new one will not be issued will stop all the nonsense and confusion

Reading that total EO this sentence pops out

 

(Suspension of Entry of Immigrants and Nonimmigrants Who Present a Risk to the United States Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak), 

 

Since a spouse can work immediately and present a risk to the labor market ,  what does this actually mean?

Are they leaving it up to embassies to interpret?

 

Kinda scary for those who are on hold for extended times already and have dreams for a life together

but the EO is ambiguous 

Thoughts on this one part?

No.

 

That's just the title of Proclamation 10052.

So I am still kind of confused. Can I still enter on my K1 and K2 that were issued last month (June)?

They'll continue visas for spouses of US citizens when routine operations resume. Visas for spouses of LPR are suspended till at least the end of 2020.

Does this amendment unblocks US citizen from sponsoring parents?

US citizens can still submit I-130 petitions for parents, but IR-5 visas can't be issued till at least the end of 2020.

They posted the following link? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/presidential-proclamation-coronavirus.html

If so, it says "parents (provided that his/her U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident child is unmarried and under the age of 21)" Thus it isn't talking about IR-5 since petitioners have to be 21 or older. Also, that part of the page is referring to Subsection 2(a)(iii) of the five proclamations (Schengen Area; UK and Ireland; Brazil; Iran; China).

 

New issuance is still banned per April 22 PP until the end of the year.

Here is a summary that explains in laymen's terms as I needed to study the EO to determine if K-1's were or were not banned. Your good to go and I hope it soon. It's been a tough few months but you are still moving forward. Good luck and stay engaged.

Thank you! I hope so too. Ready to go I’m just waiting for permission from the government to leave..

So, even if I have a valid B1/B2 multi-entry visa and I'm a spouse of a LPR, that doesn't change anything? I'm stuck till the end of 2020? 🙄
