Thanks. I'm one of the banned people. My husband is in Houston and I'm in Toronto having just filed the I-130 application in January. From the NYT article, it sounds like they won't process my application at all now. If it's suspended for a few weeks, fine. If all of us foreign resident spouses who are in the application process for I-130s are going to be denied simply because of an executive order, where do we end up? I know we have to wait until the morning, but this is just...

My K1 was delayed 8 months because of DACA (and was only approved with an expedite request because my mother was ill) so if it's not this it could be something else, delays are historically part of this whole process.  This will pass and everything will work out for you, just be patient which I know is hard.

We are literally sending off the AOS application this week. My husband came down to visit while he was waiting for his visa interview then everything kicked off. So we decided to go the AOS route instead. Are we now screwed because we haven’t sent the paperwork in yet?

I am strongly considering to just going back to New Zealand. The job market is horrible, the politics are insane, and a lot of people here are extremely arrogant. I miss NZ even though it is extremely expensive

It's just cruel. We have a legal path to bring our loved ones here. We follow the path. We do everything they tell us to do, meet all the challenges, and then this guy thinks "hey, what will get me reelected?" and we're all put up like sacrificial lambs? This is not right, and it's NOT American.

what about those that have the green card issued but aren't physically IN the US yet?

thats a good question. I assume if you already have a green card you are a permanent resident so you shouldnt denied. I know some friends who are currently visiting family overseas with greencards and before this, checked and said they can come back because citizens and perm residents are allowed entry.

As is his MO.  And later WH counsel, Constitution scholars and his handlers will explain to him the limits of his office, once again.  

The Supreme Court already ruled he has basically free reign when it comes to immigration restrictions.

I think we all need to take a deep breath and wait. Who knows what this means. It may just be no forgeiners allowed into the country who are not already here... does not necessarily mean applications will not be processed... necessarily at least based one one late night tweet

We don't know. But the executive order hasn't been issued yet. I'd try to send in the AoS application tomorrow just in case the order says "No processing of AoS submitted after April 21"

And this is why elections have consequences. 

 

I don't like Biden very much but he's getting a donation from me tonight.

People often ask my husband why he would ever leave NZ......

My husband got the Cr1 visa stamp on his apassport. We just need to fly out and into the USA. Does this affect us as well?? Can this get any harder on us?

agreed, I would bet like many of his other proposals, it will be "effective on this date unless you have an application postmarked ___". AKA send it in before he signs this

Yes  I keep questioning myself why move to the US when we were so well off there. My husband is there and I have not seen him in nearly 5 months. After we got married, we were only together for 4 days. I thought while living there about the things I missed in the US, and now that I am here, I miss NZ so much more. I feel like leaving was a mistake.
