There does appear to be a limited walk back for dual intent visa holders (H1B and L1)

“A spokesperson for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, however, told Semafor that H1-B visa holders and high-skilled workers might not be affected in the near term.”

I see the article argues that this new policy is NOT following the law ("faithfully executing Congress' intent".)

So any further spokes-person-ment is just more of the same -- no rule of law, just what we decide today or tomorrow.

Everything set by precedent from 1952-present is out the window.

That “might” is rather load-bearing for something you are literally staking your future on, though.

They "might" also end up in an ICE facility and then deported to somewhere like the Congo or an El Salvadoran prison.
