O wow, I was thinking this would be over soon.

As the spouse of a US citizen you are exempt from both proclamations. Its right there in the text. Sucks for those applying for family preference and work visas, but we should actually be the ones getting processed at the minute.

(i)     any lawful permanent resident of the United States;

(ii)    any alien seeking to enter the United States on an immigrant visa as a physician, nurse, or other healthcare professional; to perform medical research or other research intended to combat the spread of COVID-19; or to perform work essential to combating, recovering from, or otherwise alleviating the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, as determined by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or their respective designees;  and any spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old of any such alien who are accompanying or following to join the alien;

Correct - I was replying to a fellow F2A case in this group. Spouses of USC are not affected and are currently receiving preference at NVC since there’s no point to process by submission date only if many are suspended.

It’s a pretty big punch in the gut for some of us. Imagine you’re in the US as LPR supporting the economy and growth due to a specific skill set, and then the government tells you “thank you for your service and your taxes, but you don’t matter so your spouse can’t move to you”.

Correct , I know the only thing affecting my wife and I at this point is the limited services by the embassy at this point. However, I was demonstrating empathy for those affected by the EO.
