On February 24, 2021, current US President Joe Biden rescinded former President Trump’s decision to freeze green card applications and certain types of visas. Former President Donald Trump last year issued a green card ban in the US amid the Kovid-19 epidemic, stating that it was necessary to protect American workers in view of high unemployment in the US. Trump blocked many green card applicants from entering the United States. President Biden has reversed the ban, stating that some restrictions prevented some family members and legitimate permanent residents of American citizens from reuniting with their families in the United States
