My wife had her H1B approved in February 2020 and is currently working in US. I am on a work permit in Canada. As per the Presidential proclamation on June 22nd I know H4 visa applicants/holders were not allowed into the country till Dec 31st this year. But there were some exemptions made on July 16th that states..
"For H4, L2, and J2 visas:
The Department of State will continue to issue visas to otherwise qualified H, L, and J derivative applicants who will accompany or follow to join a principal applicant who is excepted from, or not subject to, the Proclamations. An exception is also available when the principal applicant is currently in the United States in valid status."
So would this mean I can apply for an expedited appointment and can enter the country if I manage to get an appointment and then a visa?
Can anyone who has an elaborate understanding on this news/update let me know what it means?
