Regarding the new immigration ban, does anyone know if it will affect current H1B holders seeking to move agencies? Does that count as applying for a new VISA or does that fall under renewal?

no it does not, tranfer is not considered applying for a visa. The new EO is created to ban entry into the US, not ppl currently inside

like

there's always the risk of being denied in a transfer, EO signed or not. That doesnt mean you should stop applying for transfers/looking for other jobs. Just be smart and only join the new job AFTER your transfer is approved.

As long as you do that, even if your trasnfer fail, at least you can still stay with the current company

Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.
