Amid Trump’s partial shutdown of the US government in a row over funding for his anti-immigrant border wall, a new study has found that US visa overstays have far exceeded illegal border crossings for a seventh consecutive year. 

The World is fascinated with President Donald Trump, one of the most controversial US Presidents since Richard Nixon.  Our most popular US visa news reports seem to be Trump related stories.  Below is a selection of some of the more popular news reports with updated comments about Donald Trump and the US visa situation:

On December 3 2018, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released details of a proposed brand new, H1B visa application process for speciality workers. The new US visa process would involve employers having to register candidates online for H1B visas, two weeks before the usual application deadline of April 1.

A policy memorandum issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in mid-November 2018, was supposed to clarify L1A intra-company transfer visa rules. However, it appears that the memorandum – dated November 15, 2018 – has failed to clarify certain L1 visa regulations.

New administrative H1B and L1 visa regulations were recently announced by the US Labor Department, as the Trump Administration continues its efforts to restrict immigration. The new administrative regulations came after the Trump Administration and Congress failed to push through changes to actual H1B and L1 visa legislation.

Amid US president, Donald Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric, which has seen him attempt to impose a Muslim-ban, demand the building of a wall along the US-Mexico border, tear immigrant families apart by separating parents from children, and more, a historian has discovered a royal decree banishing his grandfather, Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trumf) from Germany.  It should also be noted that Donald Trump’s father is also called Frederick Trump usually abbreviated to “Fred Trump”.
