Hi everyone,
I searched the recent COVID-19 posts but I can't seem to find an answer relevant to our situation. My husband got his K-1 approved and entered the country 10/19, we got married 11/19, and applied for AOS/EAD in 12/19. Husband did his biometrics appointment in 1/20. We received an RFE in 2/20 for a long-form birth certificate and mailed it 3/20. Our case status online says "Response to RFE received." It is now exactly one month from the date when our response to RFE was received.

With COVID-19 and field offices being closed, can we still expect an interview date in the near future once they open up May 3? The interview seems like the obvious next step in the process assuming we don't get another RFE, but I'm worried that we haven't received further communication. Also, does Trump's new immigration ban/halt of green cards affect us? I'm worried sick.

Thanks,
Savannah and Pablo

Your worry is premature.  Interviews are on hold at the moment.  Communications are slow.  There is even the possibility that you won't have an interview.  The latest EO has ZERO effect on you......ZERO......relax....:)

Good to know about the EO...I've read different things, but that was my biggest concern. Fingers crossed that we start getting some updates in the coming weeks when offices re-open, but I'll try to be patient!

This EO does not affect those inside the US at all.
