Thousands of Hong Kong residents are now eligible for temporary “safe haven” in the US under an order signed by President Joe Biden on August 5, 2021. The move was in response to Beijing’s crackdown on opposition lawmakers and activists after the national security law was imposed last year.
Hongkongers in the US who qualify will be granted the right to stay and work for 18 months, and restrictions on F-1 student visa holders may also be suspended.
