Immigration Suspension Executive Order - MEGA THREAD

[Andres1987 13]

Wait, so if you have the Visa already and try to enter the US you will not be allowed to enter or is it only for people applying for them?!

possibly, its still not defined clearly

Agreed, it may just mean H1B, L1, O1 and E2 which are all dual intent employment based visas.

[mandsophia 160]

This is even more unclear than before. 

[US2UK 33]

Any opinions on whether this is on the ISSUANCE only or also APPLICATIONS. 
 

i have 54 days left on my “k1 stay”. Married last week. Can I file my AOS in the mean time? Or is that not allowed either?

[GregandNatty 195]

It feels like he's being intentional vague on what will be in the EO.

Not by accident.

[apellica 76]

Yeah, his response so far is way too vague.

[os306 103]

I think at this point it's all conjecture. I suspect that the ban will apply to all employment based immigrant visas, but will NOT apply to family-based green cards. Until the details of the EO are fleshed out, we can but speculate.

[mandsophia 160]

is this just a hold on adjudicating or will they be denied if they apply meanwhile? what about those already in the us waiting to adjust status? and what about conditional LPRs who are looking to remove conditions? why make people squirm while they are already suffering in a crisis? at least be clear so we know what we are dealing with. honestly appalling

You should file soon as possible because it will be too late once the Executive Order is set in place.

[JonSeattle 201]

I'm guessing he has put this out there vaguely so they can gauge public reaction before they lock down the details.

I was listening to him. It sounded like all green cards were affected but not temporary visas - including H1B, O, etc.

[Ela G. 389]

Anyone else as confused as I am? He couldn’t have been more broad 😅 also, he didn’t mention family based visas at all which makes me feel uneasy lol

because its irrelevant to most people watching. The specifics are a niche interest, although it matters to us, it probably doesnt matter to 85% + of americans so spending time talking about the intricacies of the suspension would be wasting time for this platform.
