Trump's new immigration order coming

[Daisy.Chain 317]

I heard the Daca recipients will be legalized..yet legal parent/sibling visas would be stopped? 

 

I suppose nobody knows yet.

 

I wonder what would happen to visas that are waiting to become current.

Does this mean that those applying for spouse visas won’t be affected by merit based immigration?

Yes. There will be a system of allocating points for education etc. many countries such as Australia have used this type of system. Younger age is worth more points than older age , higher education more than only finishing High school etc.   unlikely that immediate family apart from spouse and dependent children will be retained. Very few countries have immigrant categories like parents and siblings. 

Yes , Look at Canada, NZ and Australia immigration as examples.  

Unlikely trump is able to do this via EO though.

Trump tried to cut a deal with the dems in Congress to do this yes.  Also scrap the DV program.   Remember the whole PR BS event in the Oval Office, #hole country statement etc. 
 

It was actually the DV program that was the sticking point for the dems

I did not know any of this, could you tell me more please? Also so the Democrat's stopped and got upset at ending the DV Lottery? 

 

Thanks so much in advance

Would it cover DACA/DAPA that had no cut off age? This one never got into law.

I still think he will leave spouses and children exempt. Other family though could be affected? 

Do you think fiance K-1 visas will be impacted?

Dont know but as far as i can tell the order of importance would leave Cr1 already a spouse a priority. 

And even a worst case scenario you would think there would be a cut off date similar to the public charge order.

Sorry but I don’t understand the context of a “cut-off date”? What do you mean?

Like a grandfathered in kinda of scenario.  Lets say for parents filed on or before this date are exempt from such and such merit based requirements etc etc

Okay so for example hypothetically:  “if you file this type of petition AFTER this date then you will need to meet this merit based requirement”? 

But it wouldn’t take into account the k1s that were in process before?
