If the speculation of spouses being exempt is out there makes me curious to know if K1 would be since ultimately we will become a spouse? 
And in the DS160 they listed fiancé under immediate family to be included...

 

😂Don’t mind me. I’m a K1 applicant. Just grasping at straws here and hoping for the best until tonight! Just like you and everyone here I am waiting and seeing. Crossing my fingers for everyone here! 

K1s are interesting since they are technically a non-immigrant visa hence the DS160, but at the consulate stage they are treated as an IV family based.  Everything is complete speculation at this point, but signs seem to be pointing toward employment based visas being most impacted.  I certainly hope that anything coming from this EO is short lived.

Any idea about those who got their green cards and Social Security cards but are out of US. Technically they are residents

They are not technically LPRs, they are actual LPRs and based on everything so far, they have been allowed to return to the US.

Trump's talking about immigration right now: 

 

[jasonlzak 173]

It will temporarily suspend immigration for 60 days, direct words from his mouth.

[US2UK 33]

Trump said: 60 days initially and applies to people applying for green cards. 

[foofooabla 43]

The suspension applies to individuals seeking permanent status and will last 60 days. After 60 days, it will be reevaluated.

Trump just said suspension of all green cards.  I guess this means family VISAs too?

"60-day pause on immigration"

"applies to people seeking green cards, not temporary workers"

possibly, its still not defined clearly and thats because to the majority of people this doesnt really affect them. Looks like we`ll have to wait until we see whats put into law.

Duration: 60 days (extension possible)

Those who are affected: "individuals seeking permanent residency, will not apply those entering on temporary basis."

[Statebriga 8]

My interview for removal of condition was canceled because of corona.
Can we Conditonal LPR be affected by this?

[Quarknase 1,072]

Interesting. That would then NOT include K1-visas? Such a turn in events. Now the question is how this effects reality. Will ALL processing stop (USCIS and DOS workers furloughed) or does processing continue but no visas are being issued?
