The health crisis paused immigration in the US

It is no secret that 2020 has been quite a difficult year for our world. The massive outbreak of Coronavirus unleashed a global health crisis unprecedented in the recent history of mankind, which later became an economic, social and even political crisis.

The sudden arrival of the global pandemic undoubtedly forced governments to implement emergency measures and strategies to mitigate the impact of the health crisis. Adding to that, it was nearly impossible to stop the massive outbreak as the virus is highly contagious through human contact.

The US is the country most affected by the sanitary emergency and has been the main epicenter of the pandemic for more than 9 consecutive months. Therefore, the current administration, led by President Donald Trump, had to use unconventional methods to stop, as far as possible, the massive spread of Coronavirus in the North American territory.

However, the Trump administration received countless criticism because many of the emergency measures implemented during the current juncture tremendously affected the immigration sector. Since President Trump, and his cabinet, have always wanted to reduce immigration, both legal and illegal, hundreds of activists, immigrant rights advocates and experts state that his administration used the pandemic as an excuse to comply with its immigration agenda.

Regardless of whether that accusation is true or not, many immigration processes were paused for a considerable period of time in the US, reducing possibilities for foreigners to apply for a legal entry or residence permit.

Immigration processes are already returning to normal

After the Trump administration substantially curtailed business immigration, the political asylum process, family-based immigration, and international education programs, we are seeing how the local immigration system activates again and a door of hope opens for thousands of foreigners who long to come to the US to build a promising future for their beloved ones.

Most immigration processes are already returning to normal, although there are still multiple restrictions in place. However, if you follow legal parameters and guidelines correctly, your application will most likely receive a positive response from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Incoming administration supports immigration

Aside from the fact that immigration processes are returning to normal, immigrants also celebrate the fact that the American population elected the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, as the 46th president of the US, who will take office on January 20, 2021.

Unlike Trump, Biden is quite welcoming when it comes to immigration. The president-elect states that immigration and foreign workforce are a benefit for the country, an international advantage and a strength, which completely contradicts the opinion of the Trump administration and its approach to immigration during the last four years.

Thus, the Biden administration plans to increase legal alternatives for foreigners of all stripes, lift Trump’s restrictions and policies, and protect the most vulnerable immigrant communities.
