They state something to that effect on their website:

Please note, as result of April 22, 2020 Presidential Proclamation, we are reviewing documents for cases not subject to the travel restrictions first.

 

 

That’s NVC. Is there a similar approach at USCIS as well - holding back applications subject to the travel limit? Haven’t seen anything like that so far.

No.  The ban only affects visa processing by DOS (including NVC), not petition adjudication by USCIS.  There was a recent report here on VJ of a petition for parent being approved in under a month.

Thanks. Under a month is exceptionally quick ... I’m at 20 months and still no approval ...

Well, just got the note that USCIS forwarded the application to NVC. Any links on what’s the next step in this process? I’m hoping that the new administration lifts the visa ban on parents.

Wrong. NVC is still processing cases which are under ban
