it appears there is a chance that extended family members might be affected. All info currently available suggest immediate family members (spouses, children under 21 and parents) of USC are exempt.

I'm hoping for a waiver of some sort. Everyone except my husband, a beneficiary of me (im the principal applicant of an f4 visa), has a green card, because his interview had to be delayed. I know it probably won't happen though

I am LPR very soon eligible for citizenship and my spouse just got the I-130 approved and is waiting for consulate interview for their GC. 2 questions:

• Can I still apply for citizenship with this EO?
• Unclear if my spouse will be impacted or not, but in the worst case would my spouse still keep the approved I-130 or have to start again from scratch?

It only affects those not on US soil (he's trying to protect corona virus from coming to US).

This is actually partially untrue. Most employment green cards are filled after a temporary visa holder is already working on US soil (typically 1 year after they start work for most big employers). 
 

Having said that - he's obviously allowed to pass any orders that he perceives will 1. protect the country and 2. help his reelection. Nothing sinister, just good old politics.

Don’t worry, all will be fine at the end. The EO is a temporary one and won’t last till January next year, hopefully.

That's the right attitude   These doomsday predictions can wear on you after awhile, they only make the situation worse for a lot of people, and serve NO purpose at all.

It's hard to stay positive when your visa is about to expire and all that money and hard-work was for nothing.

Maybe.. maybe not 😕

its not really a bad thing, gives people some extra time to maybe enter the country and some extra gcs to be processed in the mean time.

Well it certainly is not good for me. I am in total lock down and I cannot travel to the US to activate my spouse visa, so no this delay is killing me

“It has to be cleared legally,” Conway told reporters. “I know he’s itching to sign it, but it’s a matter of when it’s ready,” she said.

 

hopefully this means everything has got scaled back to keep it legal.

Not good for any of us that are hit by the travel ban and have the visa in hand.

Because it might be over before my visa expires.

But it's not all for nothing, you have a visa and if it needs to be re-issued they'll re-issue it,  Having confidence in the system is what you got you to this point, don't give up on it now..
