Trump's Travel Ban Mega Thread

[Asanwa 3]

I’m a USC and I started to file immigration for my mum since 2017( I paused the process because my mom was to retire 2019 and she wanted to immigrate in 2020. ) Her 1-130 has been approved and currently she’s at NVC stage. I just need to pay her AOS and processing fee at NVC. 
 

My questions is, do I proceed to pay those fees despite having a ban on immigration? I don’t have money to waste on the government. 

Does anyone have any update from Nigerian immigration Ban ? 
thank you

i think you should continue with the process. Who knows what the laws will be like in the next 5 years.

Nigeria is frantically working on this with the US government, to try and and address concerns about background checks so that Nigeria will hopefully be removed from the travel ban list.  I would keep going with the NVC stage and eventually she will get a visa interview in Lagos.  By that time Nigeria may not be on the ban list anymore.  If she is denied at the interview, you can file a waiver and hope for the best.  There's also an election in November, and depending on the outcome, the travel bans may go away.  Good luck!

I would certainly continue the process......It is likely she will interview.  If there are no other inadmissibility, she will be be placed on hold until the ban is lifted.....which could be at any time.

I agree, I would continue the process.

It was the same for us!! We are praying and my husband has been following the articles and information closely on what their government is doing to try and comply quickly. So we shall see.

Why would you quit Omo Naija? Power through to the finish line so mama comes and to also enjoy the land of milk and honey 😀✅✅.

 

Baba Buhari and his cohort are frantically doing their best to comply with the requirements to get the ban lifted.

My fiance and I are just trying to stay positive, and hoping they lift this ban sooner than later.

You've got a while so I pray they lift the ban soon!

They might finish the those in the process, and the ban will effect those who haven't filled yet. Four more years.

That is not my understanding......the proclamation says visas will not be issued after the start date of the ban.  Hopefully, the ban will be resolved soon.

Not sure how it works, thanks for the explanation.

"First, as I said before, it is important to remember that this Proclamation only restricts entry on certain categories of immigrant visas. Family members can still visit their loved ones, businesses can still employ qualified candidates, and other visits can take place on a temporary basis with a non-immigrant visa."


I just observed he used certain categories of immigrant visas and not all categories of immigrant visas. Hopefully fiance(e) and spousal visas won't be affected
