On April 30, 2021 President Biden added India to the travel restriction list due to the spread of the novel coronavirus. This travel restriction goes into effect 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May 4, 2021. Foreign nationals seeking entry into the United States, as nonimmigrants (all visa holders and individuals using Advance Parole as pending adjustment applicants), who were physically present in India during the 14-day period prior to their attempted entry to the U.S. will be denied admission. At this time, the suspension does not apply to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, as outlined in the Presidential Proclamation. The latest travel restriction will remain effective until terminated by the President.
The Trump Administration issued similar travel restrictions on other countries, which continue to remain in effect.
Please understand that the situation is fluid and is changing rapidly. Individuals who are outside the U.S. and are seeking to enter or return, may face delays imposed by the government. Please check the consulate’s website for country specific information on closures or visa processing delays that may impact your travel plans. Many U.S. consulates and embassies have limited operations and only provide emergency American Citizen and emergency visa services at this time. Similarly, any individuals making plans to travel internationally may face delays in returning to the U.S. In addition to governmental delays, airlines and the travel industry are imposing their own restrictions. If you are able to postpone travel, do so.
