what i understood is visas related to outside of USA in those 75 countries. I think people from those countries inside USA are fine. 

Yes, i understood the same thing after researching some additional information

Let's not freak out or go entirely aysheep.

Often, such news reports are written and edited by those unfamiliar with immigration and visas.

They often leave out key information that makes a big difference.

Be patient until everything becomes clearer.

Hello everyone! Dod you see the latest news? Immigrant visas processing will stop for 75 countries. Will it apply only to those who has not been admitted to the country yet or to everyone? For example, if you are from one of this 75 countries, currently living in US with VAWA application pending. How will

you be affected by this new announcement?? 

what i saw was interviews will continue to hold within the country but no decision will be made. And that this affects immigrant visas (green cards, citizenships..etc. My lawyer said the same thing. I am stil awaiting a decision after interview. Just taking it one day at a time.

Sunday!  Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

===========================================

PEDRO THE QUOTE MASTER

It was the first day of school and a new student, Pedro, the son of a Mexican telecom tycoon, entered the fourth grade.

 

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history.  Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death?'"

 

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Pedro, who had his hand up.

 

"Patrick Henry, 1775."

 

"Very good!  Now, who said "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'?"

 

Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863," said Pedro.

 

The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed.  Pedro, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.

 

She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans."

 

"Who said that?" she demanded.

 

Pedro put his hand up.  "Jim Bowie, 1836."

 

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."

 

The teacher glared and asked, "All right!  Now, who said that?"

 

Pedro said, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."

 

Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh, yeah?  Suck this!"

 

Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the teacher, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinski, 1997!"

 

Now, with almost a mob hysteria, someone said, "You little brat.  If you say anything else, I'll kill you."

 

Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001."

 

The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, "Oh, poop -- we're in BIG trouble now!"

 

Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."
