Hello! Does President Trump’s immigration ban also affects the interview and the process? I dont understand the immigration ban. If the embassy’s open, will they still schedule interview for those who are included in the ban? Does the ban mean that interviews will still be conducted BUT the immigrant can only enter the US after the president lifts up the ban on december 31,2020? Please explain thank you

Quite a pertinent question. I am too seeking an answer to this.

Can any good samaritan enlighten us?

 

Hate to say this but..... Pretty please.

As far as l know, embassies are going to schedule interviews only for spouses,  children under 21 of U.S. Citizens and those who are not included in the ban. They are NOT going to schedule interviews for those categories including in the immigration ban.

Okay. Thanks for sharing.

 

Also, I have read many news articles related to Trump administration visa ban/suspension. They all are mentioning bans related to H1-B, L1, F1 (student visa) and related visa categories for their dependents (like H4).

 

The articles doesn't talk about family visa ban/suspension. So I want to believe that there is no stopping for dispersed families to reunite. 

May it be spooky Halloween or tranquil Christmas, hope we are with our families.

This is an addition to their original proclamation. I suggest you read the complete proclamation order from the Whitehouse.gov

Yes it sounds like this affects mainly non-immigrant visas.

The news appears to be benefiting those applying for immigrant visas however.

The processing line for family based visas like F2B is moving along quite nicely as of late, jumping ahead 2 mos for every new visa bulletin.

Hello Friends,

 

My GC parents from India filed F2B for my sister who is here in USA on F1 (student visa) with PD April 2017 and her I-130 is with CSC

I have few questions that would really help to plan future of my sister in this difficult time since CSC for i-130 is pending and showing very long time -

 

1. If her PD becomes current in visa bulletin does she still needs to wait for i-130 to get approved in order to file for i-485 (AOS)?

2. How log on and average does AOS takes for F2B who are in USA with I-130 still pending?

3. Can she file EAD along AOS and how long that will take?

 

Much appreciate for your help in advance.

I am inside US in this same category and have applied to adjust status. 

 

1. No, if inside US, you can file I485 based on pending i130 if date of filing chart allows it. 

 

2. It depends on local field office, but I filed in October 2019 and my interview is next month.

 

3. Yes, usually takes around 3-4 months if there is no RFE for I485. If there is RFE for I485 then they stop processing EAD until they receive response so it can take total ~6-8 months if you get RFE for I485. My EAD took 8 months to get approved because I had RFE for I485.

Which USCIS centre and your country?

If your date is before the Receipt date for a case inquiry, then only you can inquire. Nothing with Visa Bulletin date will matter unless USCIS approves your petition.

You inquire with USCIS and not NVC
