On Wednesday, April 29, 2020 ILCM went live on Facebook four times to talk about the President’s proclamation suspending immigration.
The presentations took place in English, Somali, Spanish, and Karen. All presentations occurred on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. The presentation in Somali was at 1 p.m. The presentation in English was at 3:30 p.m. The presentation in Spanish was at 5 p.m. The presentation in Karen was at 7 p.m.

Esta presentación se tomará acabo en inglés, somalí, español y karen. Todas las presentaciones tendrán lugar el miércoles, el 29 de abril del 2020. La presentación en somalí será a la 1 p.m. La presentación en inglés será a las 3:30 p.m. La presentación en español será a las 5 p.m. La presentación en karen será a las 7 p.m.
The proclamation was announced on April 22, 2020 and went into effect on April 23, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. This is the “effective date.” The proclamation will be in effect for at least 60 days through June 22. However, it could be extended. While the proclamation is in effect, it stops certain individuals from entering the United States as immigrants.
During this Facebook live event we addressed questions such as:
- What does the proclamation do?
- Who does this proclamation impact? Who is exempt?
- I have a green card, but I am currently outside of the United States. Can I still re-enter the United States?
- I am a U.S. citizen and I filed a petition for my children to immigrate. We are waiting for an interview to be scheduled. Will this proclamation affect the processing of my children’s applications?
- I am a refugee/asylee (or I have a green card because I am a refugee/asylee) and I have filed I-730 petitions for my family members to join me here. Will this proclamation affect the processing of my family members’ applications?
This presentation will be current as of April 29, 2020. It is not intended to be comprehensive legal advice. If you have specific questions regarding your case, please contact an immigration attorney. You can reach ILCM at (651) 641-1011.
