After Feinerman s order in the Northern District of Illinois, a US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) official emailed immigration officers across the country informing them that the judgment is applicable nationwide and is effective immediately.

USCIS must immediately cease implementing the public charge final rule, wrote Daniel Renaud, a lead USCIS official.

Does this mean no more i-944??? Hope so!!!

Can someone define what exactly is an "immigration benefit"? We are trying to answer the last question on this form. You have to fill the below out for each person in your household including the beneficary. Are they referring to "public benefits"?

We had a flight booked for Nov 24 - Glasgow-LHR-Newark. The flight was BA. It was cancelled by the airline.

I know its a fluid situation but does anyone have a strategy to book a flight which has a good chance of actually flying?

My thoughts are trying to book the LHR to US leg with an american based airline eg United, American Airlines or even via Amsterdam (KLM) and Delta. My thought process is a foreign based air line eg KLM (Dutch) or United (US) are more likely to want to be back on home soil and therefore more likely to actually fly from UK.

Any thoughts on this?

With the current flight uncertainties it is very difficult to comply with a POE statement made at interview. That is for example informing IO that the intended POE is Newark when its much more likely to get a flight to, say, Miami.

What impact, if any, would such a scenario have?

Hello everyone.

This is my first VJ post and so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.

My wife (USC) and I (UK citizen) filed a DCF for a CR1 visa via the London Embassy earlier this year. The application is still in process and I just had my medical on October 16th 2020. Now, I am waiting to schedule my interview at the embassy in London.

On the morning of 10/18/20, we received news that my mother-in-law had suffered a serious cerebral hemorrhage in Los Angeles. My wife and I got on the next flight from the UK to LA to be with her. Sadly, my mother-in-law passed away on the morning of 10/23/20.

My wife and I are taking time to process the sudden loss of her mother. Currently, I am in the US on an ESTA (which is good up to 3 months, return flight in early December to the UK booked during the rush to get here) but we would very much like the peace of mind that I am able to remain in the US long term.

I am happy to return to the UK to attend an interview, but as I'd be coming from the US, I must self-isolate for 2 weeks upon my return. Accounting for this and the time it takes for me to receive my passport back via courier, it's likely I would be away from my wife for at least 1 month which would break my heart in this difficult time.

Given the circumstances, is it possible to move the location of my interview to Los Angeles? Or elsewhere in the US?

If yes, would this significantly push back my approval time given that we filed through DCF?

I just reached out to the embassy in London but I'm unsure if/when they will get back to me.

I really just want to be here for my wife during this emotional and stressful period of her life.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
