Even if it's only ever limited to these 7 countries, these are people who LIVE HERE! Imagine one day you come home and some government agent is outside and won't let you in. He won't let you go to work either. You have to leave. Just because. Now where do you go? You probably tied up loose ends back home. Maybe if your parents are alive they'll take you in?

 

I don't ever expect the UK will get the brunt of this but I still feel absolutely enraged for our Middle Eastern friends who are caught up in this absolute BS.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

I'm glad to see that people and lawyers are ALREADY preparing law suits. Keep it up!

 

You know what's the worst thing? The fear.

You read that the ban only affects Muslim countries. But... how can we even be sure? I'm a green card holder, I was planning to go to Poland in about a month (first trip in almost 3 years) but now I'm scared.

It will affect anyone who's been to any of the seven countries on the list, for now... One of the people held at JFK were from Sweden. He's probably an Iraqi national with Swedish citizenship.

Advice: It would be wise for any LPR who is eligible to apply for citizenship to do so IMMEDIATELY. Forget the 10-year green card "slow route" to citizenship! Citizenship may be the only safety. Do it now while you can.

 

Also, giving up dual citizenship to the so-called dangerous countries would be wise. At one time, the US demanded this, and it could easily do it again.

Couldn't edit my last reply to this....

 

I read a news article about it and it doesn't seem like he was from Sweden. It just says he traveled from Sweden. Details were very vague. But it didn't sound like he was a Swedish citizen.

From what has been reported so far, GC holders of the 7 affected countries will need to obtain a waiver. This should grant them re-entry with a GC. Best bet is to check the USCIS website in addition to contacting legal assistance. Best of luck!

There is nothing on the USCIS website about this. Actually, they just extended TPS for Somalis. Oh, the irony.
