Explained: What does Trump's relaxation of visa norms mean for tech companies?

 Here is the article. 

The Trump administration has decided to relax on the ban on H1B and L1 visa holders to travel to the US until the end of the year. As per an advisory released by the US state department, H1B and L1 visa holders will be allowed to enter the US if they are returning to the same jobs they had prior to the visa ban.

The advisory has three conditions. The ban is relaxed for those seeking to resume ongoing employment in US 1) in the same position 2) with the same employer 3) with the same visa classifications.

On June 22, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending immigrants who 'pose a threat to the US labour market', barring issuance of H1B, L, J, and H2 visas. The proclamation stated that the suspension applies to 'those who do not have an effective non-immigrant visa from the date of the proclamation to Dec 31 and those who are outside the US on the date the proclamation takes effect'.
