Biden Revokes Trump’s Executive Order Restricting Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Visa Applicants

United States President Joseph Biden has revoked former President Donald Trump’s Executive Order (“EO”) restricting certain immigrant and non-immigrant applicants from visa processing.

Intended to protect U.S. jobs at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump issued an EO on April 23, 2020 suspending selected immigrant visa applicants which was scheduled to be effective for 60 days. On June 23, 2020, Trump extended the EO through December 31, 2020 and expanded it to include certain non-immigrant visa applicants. Trump further extended the EO to  March 31, 2021.

While Biden’s revocation of Trump’s EO will allow affected immigrant and non-immigrant visa applicant’s the ability to apply for visas,  such processing may still be restricted due to lack of manpower at U.S. Embassies and Consulates abroad or posts that have not resumed operations because local COVID-19 restrictions. Furthermore, certain immigrant visa applicants such as children petitioned by family members and are considered to have aged-out may be unable to receive their immigrant visas.

For more information on Trump’s EO revocation for immigrant and non-immigrant visa applicants and how it might affect you, contact us today at info@enterlinepartners.com and speak with a U.S. immigration attorney in Ho Chi Minh City, Manila and Taipei.

New Visa Waiver Program ESTA Fees Authorized by the Reconciliation Bill

On July 4, 2025, U.S. President Trump signed into law a Reconciliation Bill passed by both houses of Congress.  Among many U.S. immigration-related provisions, the Bill includes new fees for various immigration-related applications.  In most cases, these fees are in addition to existing fees.   The fees listed are minimum fees that could increase by regulation and annually for inflation. In most instances, the fees are not waivable. Fees will take effect immediately under the statute; however, there may be delays in collection as the government operationalizes payment. For Taiwan Nationals, the most impact will be seen in an increase to the ESTA Fee for the Visa Waiver Program.  Applicants applying online for their ESTA approval will need to pay US$40 for their application.  It is uncertain when this fee will go into effect. If you have questions about ESTA or U.S. visas and immigration, contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com. ENTERLINE

How Can My Relatives and Dependents Help Me Meet the Income Requirements for the Affidavit of Support?

For individuals seeking lawful permanent residency while remaining in the United States, the Adjustment of Status (AOS) process offers a pathway to obtain a Green Card without leaving the country. In family-based immigration scenarios, a pivotal element of this process is the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“Form I-864”). This document creates a legal obligation between the Sponsor and the U.S. The Sponsor agrees to provide financial support to the immigrant (“Beneficiary”), ensuring they will not become reliant on government assistance. By submitting this affidavit, the Sponsor is contractually bound to undertake financial responsibility to ensure that the Beneficiary does not become a public charge. If Sponsor’s income falls short of the U.S. government’s minimum financial requirements for the Beneficiary, the Sponsor may be able to include the income of certain household members or dependents — but only if they meet specific criteria and agree to share legal responsibility.  Income

What is a Form I-130A Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary?

A Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (“Form I-130A”) is a supplemental form that is submitted with a Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and supplemental documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). A Form I-130A is only required when a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (“Green Card Holder”) is petitioning his or her foreign spouse. A Form I-130A is not required for all other Form I-130 filings, for example, for  parents and children. The Form I-130A asks for specific information related to the foreign spouse. This includes the names, place of birth, and birth dates of his or her parents; previous and current addresses, previous marriages (if any); and other questions which the foreign spouse must answer truthfully. Once completed and submitted with the accompanying Form I-130 Petition, USCIS will commence processing. If USCIS determines that any additional information is needed, it will send
