Immigration Suspension Executive Order - MEGA THREAD

remain Calm Zzz
 

“An administration official familiar with the plans had said earlier the order would be focused on preventing people from winning permission to live and work in the U.S. That would include those seeking employment-based green cards and relatives of green card holders who are not citizens.

Americans who wish to bring immediate family to the country would still be able to do so, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the plan was announced. About one million people were granted green cards last year.“

But that immediate family does not include parents

Immediate family of a USC includes spouse, children and parents.

Will the K1 Visa receipent be able to apply for permanent residency once they are in the country? I sure do hope so.

I take it sons/daughters over 21 of a US Citizen won't be included as they don't count as immediate family?

Remember that K-1 visa holders can't work for six months upon arrival to the US, so in theory they will not immediately impact the job market.

That said I'm not sure details like that are so carefully considered in presidential proclamations, previous ones have seemed to border on totally nonsensical.

I heard about the executive order last night. My fiance has a K1...issued in mid March. Everything collapsed after he got her visa, and she wasn't able to come up here...she can barely even leave the house. We woke up today and bought her a ticket for tonight - we lucked out and the US embassy just happened to list a flight from Quito to the US that leaves at 2:30am...we have no idea when the next flight will be.

 

We figured she'd just fly here now rather than stay in the country and risk not making it in time for the K1 - it expires on August 10th. Then we'd be at the whim of the embassy, who would probably have a big backlog.

 

Do you all think it's a good idea for her to board her flight tonight? It lands at 7:30AM in Fort Lauderdale. After which she could fly to my local airport on a direct flight.

 

Really need some opinions. This is so scary and we have to make a decision soon.

I'd love to think that K-1 would slip through the cracks on a technicality, but clearly Trump's intent is to keep permanent job seekers out.

I agree, Spouses and fiances technically are not here to work unlike others. So it's really a stretch to think it that way.

in my opinion, I think she should try to get here before this is signed because trump was very vague about what it impacts .

What happens, hypothetically, if it is signed when she is in the air? Or can a border control person be a jerk, knowing that there will be an order at some point, and decide not to let her in? Just thinking out all the scenarios.

So is Adjustment of Status going to affected by this order? My husband is US citizen,  I came in on a B2 visa 

It sounds like it all depends if they make an exception for USC immediate family. If they do, then you will be fine. But you will need to file ASAP before they come up with another ban.

I hope the LPR petitioner part turns out to not be true. My Citizenship interview is on hold due to the pandemic too so it won't go anywhere anytime soon...

Wouldn’t she risk to be turned away though? 
I’m not completely sure, but it’s honestly concerning.
