A group of Iranian researchers is calling on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to lift a ban on EB2 and EB1 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa applicants that was implemented on January 21. This pause has raised concerns among many researchers who believe their contributions are vital to U.S. science and values.
Key Details:
- Ban effective date: January 21, 2023
- Affected visa categories: EB2 and EB1 NIW
- Impacted individuals: Iranian researchers outside the U.S.
- Request made to DHS Secretary: @SecMullinDHS
The ongoing ban is seen as an unfair obstacle for researchers who are eager to contribute to the U.S. scientific community. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
