  • Are L1 visa suspended for spouse of US citizen?

    I am a US citizen married to a European citizen. We have been married for more than 7 years and have two children who are also US citizens.
    We are currently in Europe and we want to go back to the US.
    Is my husband eligible for L1 visa (through his employer) considering the recent proclamations from Trump in April and June?
    While the L1 visa are suspended according to Sec. 2 (Proclamation June 22), it seems that any alien who is the spouse of a US citizen is exempt in Sec 3. b) iii.

    He is exempt from the L1 ban since he's the spouse of a US citizen. He is also exempt from the country ban (I am assuming he will be in the Schengen Area/UK/Ireland within 14 days before traveling to the US) since he's the spouse of a US citizen. So he should be able to get the visa.

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
