-- Global Immigration Partners PLLC Issues Statement on New U.S. Freeze of Immigrant Visa Processing for 75 Countries; Affirms Continued Availability of L-1 and Other Non-Immigrant Visas
Global Immigration Partners PLLC, a premier U.S. immigration law firm serving corporations and individuals worldwide, today released an updated statement regarding the U.S. government’s newly announced suspension of immigrant visa processing for nationals of 75 countries.
Under the policy, immigrant visa categories — including family-based, employer-sponsored, and other permanent residence pathways — will be paused indefinitely for individuals from the listed countries. This change represents one of the widest simultaneous restrictions on permanent immigration in recent decades.
Despite the sweeping nature of the suspension, Global Immigration Partners PLLC emphasises that the new policy does not affect non-immigrant visas, which continue to be processed and approved at consular posts around the world.
Non-Immigrant Visas Remain Open and Unrestricted
All major temporary visa categories remain fully operational, including:
- L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visas
- H-1B Specialty Occupation Visas
- O-1 Extraordinary Ability Visas
- B-1/B-2 Business & Visitor Visas
- F-1 Student Visas
- E-1/E-2 Treaty Trader and Investor Visas
- J-1 Exchange Visitor Visas
These categories allow businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, students, and temporary workers to continue entering the United States legally.
Firm Statement
“Although immigrant visa pathways have been profoundly affected by the new federal directive, the United States remains accessible through a broad range of non-immigrant visa categories,” said Alexander Jovy, co-managing partner at Global Immigration Partners PLLC. “For multinational companies in particular, the L-1 visa continues to be a critical tool for transferring executives, managers, and key employees to U.S. operations. Mobility is still possible — it simply requires strategic planning.”
Impact on Global Mobility
While the new restrictions affect long-term immigration planning, the continued operation of non-immigrant visa programs provides employers and individuals with ongoing options for:
- International talent transfers
- Short-term and project-based assignments
- Business expansion into the U.S. market
- Academic enrollment and research collaboration
- Cross-border training and rotational programs
Global Immigration Partners PLLC advises both corporate and individual clients to engage in early planning and professional guidance in light of the rapidly shifting regulatory environment.
Guidance for Individuals and Employers
The firm recommends the following proactive steps:
- Evaluate whether a temporary visa category can support immediate travel or short-term U.S. needs.
- Consider L-1, H-1B, or O-1 options for key personnel.
- Review long-term immigration strategies and identify alternative pathways where possible.
- Seek legal guidance before submitting new applications impacted by the pause.
“This moment requires agility,” added Jovy. “Even during periods of policy tightening, there are still effective and lawful avenues for cross-border mobility. Our role is to guide clients toward the options that remain available.”
