The brief reply is NO. Learn on to know extra.

Late Monday evening, United States President, Donald Trump tweeted that he plans to difficulty an govt order to quickly droop immigration to america.

This text explores how a lot weight one ought to ascribe to this tweet.

Nicely, Info First:

• No Government Order has been signed or carried out
• There is no such thing as a readability on the authorized foundations for this transfer
• Even when he indicators one, it’s unlikely to face towards the courtroom scrutiny

Here’s what the consultants are saying:

“I don’t assume there’s trigger to fret in regards to the EO” commented Immigration Specialist Lawyer, Jack Sung. “If he doesn’t signal it, nice. If he indicators it, I might anticipate federal courts to proper the wrongs inside a couple of weeks by an emergency TRO (short-term restraining order) to cease him.”

Whereas we don’t anticipate this govt order to have any benefit, in case you are a higher-ed scholar headed to the US, we have now damaged down how the tweet could have an effect on you (mainly nothing).

How may this tweet have an effect on me?

Are you an MS within the US aspirant?

For one, we consider that if this does occur, it is going to be short-term. What’s extra, F1 and OPT aren’t immigrant visas and shouldn’t have an effect on you.

Are you graduating quickly or presently on OPT?

Since F1 and OPT are underneath non-immigrant visa standing, you’ll not be affected. Nevertheless, in case you are/had been pondering of making use of for the H1B, there is no such thing as a readability since H1B is a twin intent visa (non-immigrant however permits for functions for Inexperienced Card).

Do you have already got an H1B?

The advised Government Order solely considerations incoming immigrants and can have no impact in your current standing. Furthermore, america has allowed an 8-month extension for H1B visa holders who could also be laid off because of the COVID-19.

Why the US is prone to stay pleasant in the direction of expert migrants:

• America is a nation of immigrants and expert migrants proceed to create sustained worth for its economic system. Greater than 50% of its tech corporations have been began by 1st or 2nd era immigrants (Eg. Steve Jobs, Joff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and so forth). Moreover many high CEOs are Indian immigrants comparable to Sundar Pichai (Google) and Satya Nadella (Microsoft)
• The US has a scarcity of 2mn STEM expertise which is presently fulfilled by inviting high expertise from throughout the globe.
• Greater training for worldwide college students is a $41bn business within the US and helps half one million jobs. America can’t afford to let this business have an effect on when unemployment claims are at a historic excessive of 22mn.

Can Donald J Trump ban immigration with only a tweet?
