The big beautiful bureaucratic wall is making our lives great again, by keeping us away from our family. All hail our great and magnanimous leader. Oh, what would we do without him?

 

Overall, the Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens fell from 566,706 in FY 2016 to 478,961 in FY 2018, a decline of 87,745, or 15.5%. Between FY 2016 and FY 2018, the U.S. granted lawful permanent residence to 36,209 fewer spouses of U.S. citizens (down 11.9%), 21,700 fewer children of U.S. citizens (a 24.5% decline) and 29,836 fewer parents (a drop of 17.2%).

 

The lower admission numbers for spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizens may reflect processing delays as well as policy changes that would prevent individuals from obtaining permanent residence.

 

 

Observers note that Trump administration efforts to reduce immigration could fill a book. The administration abandoned attempts to convince the House and Senate to reduce legal immigration via the traditional route of passing a new law after Congress rejected bills the White House either designed or supported. Given the failed efforts in Congress, lowering the number of legal immigrants by executive, regulatory and administrative means has become more important within the administration.

 

The latest statistics show efforts by administration officials to reduce legal immigration have, from their perspective, started to bear fruit. Favorable court rulings and another four years in power would mean even lower levels of legal immigration to the United States and fewer U.S. citizens allowed to have their spouses, parents and children come live with them in America.

Had a typo in the original post. Meant to say, "What would we do without him?"

Hi everyone !

Today I just received an DQ email from nvc. How long, after DQ email, takes to receive an interview date?

Thanks and good luck for everyone in this process!

thanks for the update, did you really submit on October 26th? or did you resubmit later than that?

Hello VJ family, 

  Must one upload the A.O.S package and the Civil Documents at the same time?

 

And if we don't upload them at the same time, will it  cause any form of delay?

 

Just curious

No, It won’t cause any delay. I submitted AOS documents first and then a few days later I submitted the civil documents. Your waiting starts when all documents have been submitted, in my case, when I submitted civil documents.

Hello Everyone,

A small question regarding the VJ timeline.

The "NVC received" date is the date when NVC receives the file from USCIS

or is it when NVC creates the case ?

Thank you

Alix

This is a great question and it seems many users don't understand it as the date NVC received file from USCIS but rather date the case number is created.

How long it takes for an interview is dependent on your country, which country are you interviewing in?

its Kind of like comparing apples with oranges... numbers are very easy to manipulate into a way that sounds favourable toward your desirable point.. 

 

it’s ok saying approval numbers for legal immigration has reduced... but to actually make the point valid in saying he’s trying to reduce legal migration you need to also review:

- number of applications... has this number reduced also?

- reasons behind denials.. if applicants don’t meet the requirements then of course they will not be approved

- resources available to process applications... reallocation of processing staff from legal to illegal migration and asylum seeker processing will indeed slow legal migration.. 

 

i wouldnt neccesarily trust numbers.. got to do the background check too
