WHAT’S HAPPENING

On Friday, October 4th, 2019, President Trump issued a Presidential Proclamation titled “Presidential Proclamation on the Suspension of Entry of Immigrants Who Will Financially Burden the United States Healthcare System”, which is scheduled to take effect at 12:01 am on Sunday, November 3, 2019, and which requires all individuals applying for immigrant visas (e.g., green cards) at U.S. consular posts outside the United States to be able to demonstrate they will have unsubsidized health insurance within 30 days of entry to the United States or that they have sufficient financial resources to pay for their reasonably foreseeable medical expenses.
