Will an injunction be filed? EO

[Holdanna 8]

Wonder if anyone has heard of an injunction coming? Surely there will be an injunction filed against this EO?

I'm sure the 9th circuit will try. It would be pretty hard to set it aside with the supremes based on the previous ones being upheld.

I guess we'll see. I'm almost at the end of this journey. Submitted docs to NVC. Was hoping an injunction would push us over the finish line once the Montreal consulate opens

But it wouldn't affect you anyways, right? You wrote that you have applied for a IR1/CR1 visa for your spouse (spouse of US Citizen).
Spouse and children of US citizen are exempt from that EO. So as soon as the consulate opens, you should be able to get an interview.

 

Or is the visa category wrong and you filed a F2A for spouse of legal permanent resident?

I applied for my son. I'm a LPR. He's in f2a category.

Injunction based on ?  I'm sure some federal judge will try....but an injunction will ultimately fail, imo. The SCOTUS will see this EO as within the scope of Trump's authority....based on past rulings....imo.....just speculating....

Oh I see. I'm very sorry the EO affects you 😔

Thanks- not sure how my 18 year old would 'steal' an American's job.

Plenty of PhDs flipping burgers in my mountain college town before covid  But I digress,

 

At least, once the borders are open, he can visit.   And the petition might get past the NVC while this is working itself out.

I guess.

Especially given how work visas haven’t been suspended....

[Holdanna 8]

That's what I don't understand.

We are at the point in H1B season where the lottery is done. I wouldn't be surprised if the next one is cancelled or delayed.

It just doesn't make sense. I don't get how this can hold up any legal checks since the whole reasoning is to protect jobs for Americans. Anyhow. I'm not a lawyer. I'm just a frustrated LPR who's Citizenship application is pending because interviews have been suspended (which I understand - it's necessary) and now my spouses case which is currently at NVC will not be able to complete either (once embassies open). The chain of these events is what bugs me along with the question what makes us worth less to be united than a USC with their spouse.
