I’m Canadian citizen with employment authorization/advance parole and want to visit my family back home for few weeks, but I’m wondering if there would restriction coming back to my American husband?

 

Does anyone know if any of these recent restrictions will affect my traveling and/or AOS application profess(still pending to schedule interview).

 

Are you in US now? IF you don't have any status in us you cannot cross the border.. But If you have status in US and you are crossing border with your husband, it might be okay...

I tried cross the border week ago, they return us back to can.

Considering how severe everything is worldwide and how travel restrictions can change for everyone quickly whether you’re a USC, LPR, visitor or not, I wouldn’t take a risk in traveling outside the country currently unless absolutely necessary.

It says spouses are exempt. Doesn’t mention fiancés.

At this current moment, almost all immigration is effectively on hold or in very slow motion anyway. I would speculate the executive order will cast a wide net and be as vague as possible. It will certainly be challenged in the courts and may even reach the supreme court by summer or early fall, just before the election. Ultimately, it will be defeated in court (or rolled back by the next administration if current administration doesn't prevail in the election) but boy will this be a hell of a get-out-the-vote issue.

 

Time to take a very deep breath. 2020 is a foregone conclusion for normalcy on every level.

I saw the same thing.  However, I believe spouses/fiances usually fall in the same category when it comes to immigration.

Thanks for posting. 

 

"Refugees and asylum seekers would not be affected by the order. Nor would spouses and children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents."

 

This puts my mind at ease a little bit. My fiance's K1 was approved and expires in June. She is currently in Thailand and planning to come here sometime next month, when travel restrictions in Thailand relax.

Then supreme court will weigh in or it stays for a maximum of 4 more years. Executive orders rarely outlast the administrations that bring them forth.

No they don’t. Or else I would be able to travel with my K-1 right now. I would be exempt from the European travel ban, but I’m not. Spouses in the other hand, are exempt from the ban.
