Will this affect adjusting status? If so how.

I think this only applies to employment based visas and family (parents, siblings). Not for children and spouses.

I haven't seen anything in the Trump plan which affects AOS......but that is a very good question.

Yeah... This is really confusing.

Seems like "if" this passes it would eliminate all that are waiting for green cards, have them start over, and go off of if they have needed skills.

Zero impact as it would never make it through the House

I haven't seen anything on AOS either, it seems more around acquiring the green card - some Visas are tied directly to also receiving the green card like a CR1. The most common results I see on the "spouse" is when an immigrant is coming here but what's to bring their spouse with them. Not so much on a spouse (or fiance) of a U.S. Citizen. 

 

The article/policy also states potential changes to "immediate relatives" in the family category, such as parents of U.S. citizens no longer being considered immediate relatives.

He is essentially decreasing the number of green cards based on familial ties. The only exceptions are spouses and children. The same number of green cards will still be awarded, right now its about a million green cards a year. and the percentages are 12% for the point based sysyem mentioned. and that 12 percent is for skilled laborers. he wants to increase that 12 percent to 57 percent, which means that the number of green card applicants based on familial ties will decrease.

Please do not worry about this.  It will be a very long time before this would possibly be approved and there is no chance that it will be approved as is.

 

As stated it can impact K and CR visas.  This was originally proposed is 2014 under the Obama Administration but the current discussion is much tougher on the family visa.  It would completely eliminate bring parents and siblings over and even spousal and fiancee visas would be based on a number system assigned to the beneficiary on their expertise.  Do not stress on this.  It won't pass as is and even if it passes it won't be for a very long time.

Probably nothing will happen for the next few years, but this is the first time I see they are planning to remove the spouses of LPR category also. Interesting.

This just sounds like another bandaid fix for a flat tire on the vehicle called USCIS. As most people in these forums knows, the entire USCIS vehicle is in need of dire overhaul.  When is one of our vaunted politico hacks going to take it on as an election pledge? Likely when pigs grow wings.   (SADLY!)

No politics intended, but I’m a little concerned about how does the new proposed point system for immigration would affect the pending green card applicants including AOS from K1.. can anyone shed some light on this matter please ?
