On Nov. 7, 2020, the Associated Press announced that Joseph R. Biden Jr. had won the 2020 election and would be become the 46th president of the United States. President Biden's victory could not have been more welcomed by the immigration law community after four years of the Trump administration enacting policies, proclamations and executive orders that severely curtailed immigration to the United States. Arguably the most notable recent order is the ban on individuals holding both immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, preventing many from returning to their U.S. jobs and homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
