Update on our case:
 
01/27/2020: I-130 petition package (paper format) delivered to Phoenix Lockbox, via USPS
02/03/2020: USCIS cashed our fee payment (personal check)
02/03/2020: Received text receipt with IOE#
02/09/2020: Received Form I-797C (NOA1) in the mail, got assigned to Texas Service Center
04/20/2020: Received Approval Notice online (email and web account)
 
We got our petition approved last night, so it took less than 3 months, wild! We were assigned to Texas service center but our approval notice came from Potomac, so they must have reassigned it at some point? We're thrilled (and confused), but expecting the NVC phase to take a lot longer than normal, what with the consular services shutting down from covid, and the supposed impending executive order..

So, this is terrible news, my wife already received her IV visa and our flight was recently cancelled to the U.S. on April 1...I am 71 years old and have underlying health conditions and need to see my family doctor for treatment where I have Medicare coverage.. I am a US citizen, born and raised in New York. My daughter is my co-sponsor for my wife and now I can't get back to get treatment and I will be stuck in Thailand under the "executive order" by President Trump...It already has cost me a lot emotionally and financially and have already paid my fees including for my wife's green card!!…
      Many of you are also in a difficult situation!! I hope that this order will be challenged by congress and should be suspended till the Supreme Court can rule on this.. It is definitely unconstitutional and should be delayed till the Supreme Court votes on this political agenda...Good Luck to all and stay healthy

Stopping immigration isn’t going to undo the economic damage caused by the country being shutdown and it’s not going to protect jobs in the US. 
The visa progress is long and hard enough as it is, emotionally and mentally as well. This isn’t going to ease the problems there!
Some clarification is needed on this matter and I hope all immigration lawyers sue to protect people like us trying to be with our loved ones. 
 
Will it stop spousal visas? 
 

Just wait n watch. Other than that we can't do anything. 

I really feel you. I live in Europe as well but my fiancé is in the Marine Corps and wouldn’t be able to move over here. The US is the only choice we have to be together and finally be a family. 
This situation is emotionally draining, and it probably shouldn’t be this hard to be with your loved ones. 

I'm still in Germany but I want to be with my husband. I don't care where that is. My husband is a US Marine so I don't even have another choice!
