The Embassy is closed until Tuesday as Monday is a US holiday, so there’s no way right now to confirm if your appt is canceled or not however they didn’t mentioned that the word is that some appt would be canceling. What they suggest that since there’s no way to confirm now you should still show up for the appt and tell them you weren’t confident if it was a valid call From them or someone playing games since your appt still shows scheduled online. 

They also said normally it would show canceled or rescheduled online.

@Jammin19, would you by chance be able to confirm with your contacts that work there about the cancellations?

Makes sense.

Not saying the cancellations have anything to do with the cases last week, I only mentioned it because someone stated that there aren’t any confirmed cases at the embassy. I know for a FACT that there were confirmed cases there. as I’m familiar With people there. As per the lockdown new measures not sure how deep it will go. I have been here in JA for just about 2nths and trust me there ain’t no social distance going on here, so anything is possible.

There were actually confirmed case at the embassy Iastweek and others were suspected cases (security officers) not sure tho If that has anything to do with it.

also today ministry of health announced today that starting Monday there will be so changes lockdowns due to community spreads that are getting difficult to trace.

I do hope and pray all this lockdown stop because at this point we just need to proceed with COVID and take our precautions. It ain’t go nowhere no time soon.

How can you tell though? We submitted everything to NVC on May 29.  I can see on the NVC login where it shows Submitted, but don’t see any other info. Do they send something when the touch the case or does it display somewhere I’m not checking?

Your case was already approved with USCIS?

we are still waiting on approvals didnot reach NVC stage yet

I am very disappointed seeing my case has not been touched since Feb of 2020. I am not sure why they haven't checked it yet. I submitted the file in January and its at Potomac.

Crazy how there seems to be no real order of how they process these cases. I feel your disappointment!

Sounds like wild speculation. 

 

Our case was approved in 90 days.  One of the Bluest states - MA.   And it was a paper petition, mailed via USPS.

What service center was your case? Mines is TX

If you file online, which state did you file from?

Filed online from NY. Not sure if there’s any truth to what the Attorney said. Was just trying to understand why some cases get process and approved so quickly and some takes so long.

So,  I was speaking with an attorney just wondering why some cases get approved months before some even if filed about the same time, even at the same processing center and even seeing cases get approved at processing center with even a longer processing time get approved before the shorter ones and the attorney said to me that she believes the state you are filing from makes a difference right now. She says that More democratic states are waiting longer than more republican states right now. 
Do u guys think thats the case???

Congratulations, after hearing so much good news in February and March,
I finally heard that the good news happened in January.

I filed in February Texas service center and saw so many approvals that filed in Feb, March being approved at least 2months ago, I just can’t seems to understand what is causing the delay with getting mines approved. Didn’t even received a RFE nothing and the last time a date change was may 5 for my husband and April 23 for my daughter.

There are 2 injunctions, one against DHS for US immigrants who would be applying for green cards and one against DOS for immigrants applying for entry into the US. The injunction prevents either entity from applying the public charge rule against said immigrants during the pandemic. Of course this will most likely now go to the supreme court for their ruling. They gave 45 the go ahead in January for this public charge rule, but of course that was before all hell broke loose with Covid-19🤦🏾‍♀️

Yes, but also in March NY went to court to try and get it stopped due to the pandemic and it was denied Because they had said that anyone that obtained assistance due to the pandemic would not be count against them with the public charge, however NY went back to court again arguing that the pandemic has gotten worse and no one should worry about whether they should or should not seek assistance and the federal judge George Daniels in Manhattan said the worsening coronavirus pandemic provided more urgency and he issued a temporary block nationwide.

I understand the implications of public charge, but it also affects here:

 

”Under the rule, any immigrant who receives at least one designated public benefit — including Medicaid, food stamps, welfare or public housing vouchers — for more than 12 months within any three-year period will be considered a “public charge” and will be more likely to be denied a green card” Source: TheHill

 

which would affect immigrants & green card seekers already in the US

 

tldr: I’m not holding my breath

The rule would also require beneficiaries abroad to prove health insurance within 30days Of entering the US and the new public charge forms DS 5540 or the I-944 which ever one that would be apply to that beneficiary, so basically with the block yesterday by the judge they cannot enforce the public charge rule whether in the US or abroad.

I think it only applies to AOS or immigrants in the US already, not for those of us applying from outside the US

No it is nationwide to “applicants for visas at U.S Embassies and consulates abroad” that is actually what the ruling states. However it is temporary for now until the national emergency is lifted and with the pandemic getting worse as per the judge we don’t know when that will be.

Just thought I’ll share...Today a Federal judge in New York block Trumps public charge rule Nationwide at least until this pandemic is behind us
