By: Dayna Lally, Esq.[i]

On January 20, 2021, the White House issued a Memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies which requests a 60-day regulatory freeze on rules that have been published in the Federal Register but not yet taken effect.[ii] 

The modified version of the Strengthening the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program Final Rule which was published in the Federal Register on January 8, 2021, and set to take effective on March 9, 2021, could be postponed.[iii] 

Lally Immigration Services, LLC is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
