On June 22, 2020, the White House issued a Presidential Proclamation suspending certain non-immigrant visa categories, including the Summer Work and Travel, Intern, and Trainee programs, through December 31, 2020. These valuable programs are vital; they aid national security, introduce Americans to new cultures, create positive global relations, and support the US economy. Your voice is essential in the fight against this proclamation to save the cultural exchange program effected.
