H1-B visa ban extended

      The Trump administration suspended entry of temporary foreign workers under the H1-B visa program early in 2020, and on Dec. 31, extended those suspensions to March, 2021.

      Many federal contractors rely on those visas to utilize highly trained foreign IT and technical workers.

      The incoming Biden administration may overturn those actions.
