Biden adds India to list of countries subject to COVID-19 travel ban.
May 6, 2021
Beginning May 4, all nonimmigrants traveling from India are banned from entering the United States with the exception of those that already have a valid visa stamp in their passport, and have been outside of India for more than 14 days before traveling to the United States. This travel ban does not apply to U.S. citizens, green card holders, or H, L, E, O visa holders attempting to travel out of India to the U.S., if they fall within a categorical exception. The new order suspending direct entry from India is in addition to the travel bans already in place for other countries and regions with regard to direct travel to the U.S.
