So it sounds like it makes more sense to apply for a non-immigrant visa first, if there's little chance to get one after the immigrant visa is applied. thanks for all your notes on possible different scenarios! Very helpful

So I guess its better to at least try for the B1/B2 visa first, it will be decided fairly quickly. Assuming she doesn't get the B1/B2, do the immigrant visa petition after that? I'll look up the process to understand. I think what you mean is that they process the I-130 petition first. This part is not suspended by the recent announcement. After the petition is approved, then the visa is processes after that. This is the part that is currently suspended. Thanks for your help!

Hi, the B1/B2 visa is actually pretty long stay. She could stay a while and see what it's like to live here. So it could involve leaving her job if it was a fairly long visit. We'll have to pay for her healthcare while she is here. So are you saying that the I-130 processing will still continue despite the suspension of processing? I guess I don't totally understand the process. Need to read up on it. It sounds like I-130 is still going on, it's just the next phase of the process that has been suspended?

Hello all, I was planning to apply for my mother to get a green card, and have been planning this for a long time. But I found out last week that the US government has suspended processing of immigrant visas for citizens of 75 countries. I am wondering whether it is worth it to still submit an application, and get her in line for processing? Maybe they will keep them in the order that they received the applications, and when/if processing is resumed, we will be better off for having submitted it? Or should I just forget about it until they resume processing? Are there any exceptions or ways around this suspension of processing? I could have her apply for a B1/B2 visa, but she has a job that she can't afford to give up by leaving the country. Thank you for any of your responses!
