Suspending Immigration and NVC

[Mrs. Dea 10]

Hi All

 

Im just wondering for Cr1s who are at the NVC stage, if this executive order would affect them. Could it mean a cancellation of the immigration process or just a long delay. Or could this just be for new applicants ?

Not sure about that stage. You would think the order would allow current petitions to finish processing. Maybe just suspend new applicants?

Thats what I am thinking too. And then there is the matter of seperating families, so I am wondering if this applies to certain class(es) of immigrant visa. I hope we can hear something concrete soon. There is so much anxiety and living on edge with this process due to things keep changing. Every now and then there is something new. Sigh.

Everything is just speculation at this point.  Since most consulates are not processing anything, there already is a de facto delay in visa processing.  When and more importantly, if this EO actually is signed, then we can start tearing it apart.

 

As to an opinion, I think any EO would be short lived, and certainly challenged almost immediately in federal court.

Ironically my request to expedite got approved today and sent to the U.S. embassy. Definitely confused as to how it will all shake out. To make things more uncertain our visas expire in this third country in just two months, and she won't be able to be processed here anymore.

@fewstee    Can you please tell when you submitted the expedite request?

Also curious. Even though ive been told that expedite is usually useless i have to now wonder.

@palp and @stringpuller

 

I sent it to NVCexpedite@state.gov on April 15 which turned out to be a day after NVC received my case.

@fewstee Thanks. If possible can you please share the reason you quoted in expedite request.

@palpMy spouse and I live in a third country with all of the associated COVID-related issues you can imagine, canceled flights and state of emergency etc., and our visas here are set to expire in a couple of months. In addition I have a job offer in the U.S. The consulate here is also not very busy. Hard to say which of these factors could have led to approval.

@fewstee  Thanks.

My application for my son is at NVC stage. Submitted all documents yesterday. What will happen? I need to bring him here because the situation in Nicaragua is dire. Please advise.

My interview was just cancelled, it was for May 5. I suspect everything is going to slow to a stop for the duration of the EO.

 

I just love how the USCIS page still shows reopening May 4, yet the interview is cancelled and the EO hasn’t even been signed yet.

Seems our president is on a role.
