We just got our GC too! Very thankful.

Card received as promised on the 22nd - good luck everyone!

Interviewed July 12, told approved - changed to approved July 15th, card mailed out July 20th and tracking to arrive July 23rd at home. AOS from K1 2 year GC.

People can easily tell you not to worry when they aren't in your shoes, but I get it. My now wife came here from Poland on K1 as well (now going through AOS). It is horrifying for us to think about too much, but none of us can say for certain what will happen. I wish I had something more hopeful to share.

The concern is not the the impact on same sex marriages. The concern is the impact it might have on the access to certain federal rights (e.g., immigration).

Please don’t trivialize the concerns, they are real.

Yes, these issues are not directly related and there is no immediate effect on same sex couples. But it is not unreasonable for someone to be concerned with what this may signal could be coming in the future. Even for those of us who are no longer working on getting our spouse into the US (my husband got his citizenship last year) there are concerns over what might happen if some of these decisions are overturned.

That's not true, since immigration is a federal issue. Same-sex couples could not apply for immigration privileges before Obergefell.

That's great! You are lucky you won't have to go to Cd. Juarez!  But you will need a new DS-160.  Someone I know had put Mexico City on theirs by accident and took it to their interview in Juarez.  They were sent out to fix it but allowed to bring it back that day.  Better to just do it again now 

Maybe that's the case at your consulate, but not at others, so don't "clear up" with false information.  All round 1 plaintiffs got interviews the same week in Mexico despite months of differences in NOA2 dates.  You can see many non-plaintiffs without interviews scheduled in Mexico on this forum.

My fiancé had his interview in Stockholm today and he was told at the end that he is approved!!

This is true! Looks like all cases will be transferred to CDMX

We just got confirmation of appointment on April 28th in CDMX

Hi all, finger’s crossed we all start getting some good news soon! Does anybody have the latest shipping dates from the NVC to embassies for 2021? Thanks so much 

Where can I find the status of the cuidad Juárez embassy so I can follow it for updates on opening k1 interviews back up?

It's true that regular flu impacts many people. The huge difference is that there is no vaccine for COVID-19 and because of that the societal response is very different. As such the potential for widespread infection (to rates higher than that for regular flu) is high. Also, the death rate for COVID-19 is much higher than it is for flu. Has a USCIS office ever closed because of a flu outbreak? I doubt it. But the office in SEATTLE closed because one employee tested positive for COVID-19 so that just shows the response to this is going to be very different. An excerpt from the Guardian: 
 
CORONAVIRUS: FACTS CHECKED
 
Claim: "It is no more dangerous than winter flu"
 
"Many individuals who get coronavirus will experience nothing worse than seasonal flu symptoms, but the overall profile of the disease, including its mortality rate, looks more serious. At the start of an outbreak the apparent mortality rate can be an overestimate if a lot of mild cases are being missed. But this week, a WHO expert suggested that this has not been the case with Covid-19. Bruce Aylward, who led an international mission to China to learn about the virus and the country’s response, said the evidence did not suggest that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. If borne out by further testing, this could mean that current estimates of a roughly 1% fatality rate are accurate. This would make Covid-19 about 10 times more deadly than seasonal flu, which is estimated to kill between 290,000 and 650,000 people a year globally."

I can not speak for others, but my wife is an extremely intelligent woman who has the brains to logically discern sound fiscal policy vs unrealistic vote buying.......

Maybe If they married not Trump supporters, they would not be Trump supporters themselves?
