President Joe Biden lifted the ban on foreigners moving to the U.S. who are new green card holders. The ban was due to expire on March 31, 2021.

This is the revocation of Presidential Proclamation 10014 and its two extensions. They were originally set in April 2020 by then President Trump, citing the COVID-19 pandemic.

In President Biden’s order, it states that Proclamation 10014 “harms the United States, including by preventing certain family members of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents from joining their families here. It also harms industries in the United States that utilize talent from around the world.”
