As of April 22, a temporarily halt of all immigration known as the “COVID-19 proclamation” came into effect; suspending all routine visa services at U.S. embassies and consulates. This measure, in addition to the many changes to the U.S. immigration system ordered by the current U.S. administration in 2019, has had a significant impact on the lives of millions of immigrants living legally in the United States.
Immigration Reform (2019) was designed to slow legal immigration and to strengthen the Department of Homeland Security’s ability to enforce immigration laws, create obstacles in the immigration process for some, and streamline the path to obtain immigration benefits for others. Some of these changes are taking effect in 2020, and even more changes may be on the horizon.
