This executive order amended Executive Order 13597 by deleting subsection (b)(ii) of section 2, which had set a goal of increasing nonimmigrant visa processing capacity in China and Brazil. It directed the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to revise the implementation plan as necessary to reflect this amendment. The change aligned visa processing priorities with the administration's focus on domestic workforce priorities and stricter visa screening.
