Key points:
Additional information: The announcement provides that the State Department will continue to issue H, L and J visas to otherwise qualified family derivative applicants who are already excepted from the work-visa travel ban or where the main applicant is currently in the U.S. Additionally, the agency confirmed that winners of the FY2020 Diversity Visa lottery who have not been issued an immigrant visa as of April 23 are subject to the immigrant visa ban unless they fall under an exception.
