US Presidential Proclamation 10052
"On June 22, the White House issued an Executive Order suspending certain categories of the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program (EVP), including J-1 Summer Work Travel, Intern, Trainee, and Camp Counsellor (plus Teacher and Au Pair) effective June 24 through December 31, 2020, with the possibility of continuation. Modifications may be recommended upon review by various U.S. government agencies throughout the effective period."
The Presidential Proclamation has been extended to 31 March 2021. However, participants of CIEE and GeoVisions are not subject to the ban due to the October injunction still in effect.
Therefore, the WAT USA Summer 2021 applications will continue as in previous years.
We are monitoring the evolving situation continuously for the countries involved with the below needed to take into considerations too in view that the COVID-19 pandemic is yet to over.
–Borders closure/opening concern (Malaysia RMCO has been extended to 31 March 2021 with restrictions on international travelling)
–US Embassy visa application resuming concern
New CDC COVID Testing Requirement
CDC Expands Negative COVID-19 Test Requirement to All Air Passengers Entering the United States
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expanding the requirement for a negative COVID-19 test to all air passengers entering the United States. Testing before and after travel is a critical layer to slow the introduction and spread of COVID-19. This strategy is consistent with the current phase of the pandemic and more efficiently protects the health of Americans.
Before departure to the United States, a required test, combined with the CDC recommendations to get tested again 3-5 days after arrival and stay home for 7 days post-travel, will help slow the spread of COVID-19 within US communities from travel-related infections. Pre-departure testing with results known and acted upon before travel begins will help identify infected travelers before they board airplanes.
Air passengers are required to get a viral test (a test for current infection) within the 3 days before their flight to the U.S. departs, and provide written documentation of their laboratory test result (paper or electronic copy) to the airline or provide documentation of having recovered from COVID-19. Airlines must confirm the negative test result for all passengers or documentation of recovery before they board. If a passenger does not provide documentation of a negative test or recovery, or chooses not to take a test, the airline must deny boarding to the passenger.
This order was signed by the CDC Director on January 12, 2021, and will become effective on January 26, 2021.
Anyone interested in the summer application is advised to have careful thought for the above all. Please consider also the possible “new normal” practice in place with quarantine, mask-wearing, social distancing, etc. aspects that everyone should be fully prepared before proceeding. Thank you.
