AOS - New Green Card Postponement Order

[laffy2011 0]

Hey all,

 

My husband and I are compiling the last of the paperwork/info needed to submit his AOS. We just had our wedding a few weeks ago in accordance with the K-1 Fiance Visa, and are now nearly ready for the final submission.

Now for my question:

Given the situation of the world at the moment, I just heard/read today about the new order postponing Green Card/AOS permanent residency requests for the near future. I understand this is due to job opportunities being available for American Citizens first. With that being said, does this impact my husband in terms of next steps? 

I am assuming we send in the submission as normal, and should we expect a delay on the reply? We are comfortable and willing to wait however long is necessary given the circumstances. I am simply hoping that this does not put him in a situation of illegal status, or require him worst case to leave. 

 

Thank you for any and all help!

Regardless of the EO, you should submit the Adjustment of Status package as normal.  Once the I-485 is filed, he will be granted authorized stay in the country while the form is being adjudicated.
