Thank you everyone for your sentiments. It's very difficult to respond. I am shocked at the magnitude of protests against this Order and I am so thankful that people understand that it's not just immigrants who are being mistreated, but that US citizens' rights to have their family members join them have been compromised.

A Yemeni family member who had an upcoming IR-1 Interview scheduled for February 8th at the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi just received this email:

My Yemeni husband was issued a visa on Thursday, the day before this Order was signed
No words can describe how it feels to be targeted like this for absolutely no reason. You can all sigh in relief if you like, but I do not wish this feeling on anyone. Truly crushed.

My sincerest regrets go out to you for having had such a traumatizing experience. It is unfair. It is wrong. Be happy you have your passport in hand. My husband's passport is stuck at the embassy, visa issued, only to collect dust as it expires or to be cancelled. Waiting 90 days seems like an eternity, especially when you stop and think that logically, we aren't even being promised anything once those 90 days are up. Hold tight to your passport.
One member mentioned that coming to the US is a privilege, not a right. I'd like to point out that we are all humans and humans don't have the privilege to choose where they are born. Some Americans, however, seem to believe that a person should be held accountable for such a meaningless detail as place of birth. We waited in line, filed our paperwork, paid our fees, attended our interviews, submitted to all of the same background checks as anyone else. Don't remind us that to enter is a privilege; we see that it is a privilege being denied on an unconstitutional basis.
I've written my senators and local representative, but I am not optimistic.
