Executive Order Petition Action

[Derek Scheyer 83]

Even though the EO doesnt appear to include Non-Immigrant and family visas currently, they said in 30 days they would include restrictions to non-immigrant visas.

 

Petitions slowed down rapidly after the EO came out and its important that we keep fighting this. It would be much easier to keep non-immigrant/family visas safe from a ban if we take action before it even happens because convincing them to change things after the fact could be much harder and cause unnecessary delays.

If the world doesn't get a handle on the Corona virus,  it doesn't matter what any hypothetical future bans might be.  We are all worried about what might happen 30 days from now, when we need to focus on what is right in front of us.

They actually said they will review non-immigrant visas in 30 days, which is not exactly hypothetical. I'd really like to be with my loved ones during all of this. Also coming here to stay on a visa is less exposure then having to visit every couple months because there's an immigration pause.
