Without exemption, the restrictions placed on H-1B and select J-1 visa programs, will have a profoundly negative impact on language and immersion programs
The Joint National Committee for Languages and the National Council for Languages and International Studies (JNCL-NCLIS) is deeply troubled by the continuance of Presidential Proclamation 10014, now restricting the issuance of essential nonimmigrant visas.
The restrictions placed on H-1B and select J-1 visa programs specifically, will have a profoundly negative impact on language and immersion programs, hindering educational opportunities for children across the U.S. and further damaging the United States economy by stunting progress in critical areas such as education and national security.
Take action and use your voice to urge Congress to advocate for the exemption of H-1B and J-1 nonimmigrant visa programs for world language educators.
