Biden administration to resume their applications to come to
Georgia to live and work.
But the resumption of employment- or family-based immigrant visa processing is severely back-logged, and inefficient and incompetent action at the federal level is still preventing Georgia from receiving needed immigrant workers.
Presidential Proclamation 10014 that had been barring certain immigrants from the United States for COVID-19-reasons was rescinded on Feb. 24 by President Biden.
The lifting of the ban theoretically enables candidates for various skilled job-based green cards and parents or siblings of U.S. citizens to begin or continue their applications for permanent residence.

United Kingdom,
These restrictions are the result of a March 2
Biden administration proclamation intended to curb the spread of COVID-19 by further limiting entrants to the
United States.
It is the latest in the administration’s slew of proclamations surrounding immigration that are not only confusing but, at times, nonsensical.
The announcement expands current visa restrictions on temporary workers, and, additionally, blocks professional athletes and “individuals with extraordinary abilities” from entering the U.S., at least through March 31.

A statement by DOL states, On October 8, 2020, the department published an interim final rule, and invited public comment. After an extensive review of the comments received, the department has determined that the existing wage methodology undermines the wages and job opportunities of US workers, and that it is in tension with the governing statute. The US DOL is taking these steps to strengthen wage protections, address abuses in visa programs, and protect American workers from being undercut by cheaper foreign labor, said Eugene Scalia, secretary of labour. These changes help ensure that these important foreign worker programs function as Congress intended, while securing American workers’ opportunities for stable, good-paying jobs. In response to the comments we received, the department has adjusted the wages levels used in the interim final rule to better reflect market wages and included provisions to smooth the transition to the new wage levels added Scalia.
