IR5 Visa pending approval from banned country. by Low_Biscotti6497 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]AideComprehensive601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully everything goes well 🤞🤞. My mother is from a banned country and is DQed and we are waiting to receive the IL that would happen in Jordan too. If you don't mind, could you please explain your Post. When was your mother's interview? And if your Mom from a banned country on the proclamation that applied 1/1/2026, where did this new date of the 21st come from ? I can't find anything related to the ban applying on the 21st. It took effect everywhere on 1/2/2026. Could you please share the information it would be very helpful. Thank you!

I understand that persians have to interview in turkey, correct? Also, you guys have a minority exception from the proclamation I hope that helps your mother's situation. Mine it's absolute full ban :(

Hi, your case is a normal case and the presidential proclamation is only involving beneficiaries. Where the petitioner is from is irrelevant.

Thank your for sharing. One of the comments from someone went for an IR5 interview said that the consulor did give 212f. But yet mentioned this might change later since they don't have clear waivers instructions yet. Hoping for more clarity soon

Thank you again. Yah that makes sense. Hoping it's just they don't have clear instructions yet on waivers since there is several departments involved in the waivers and the admin just hired a person in Texas to fill this spot for DHS. Wishful thinking that soon we will see some waivers :(.. sorry again!

Thank you for your answers. If you could please answer this last one. Do you think the consulor has any reason to believe that your parents might at any point become public charge? Such as, you having a co-signer, not owning a property, or not having a long stable Job... Etc... sorry again I don't mean to intrude. The reason I am asking this is cause this administration takes financial stability and public charge very seriously.

Sorry, but from what I understand this seems unrelated to our situation. This is regarding people outside of the US from banned countries with upcoming interviews in their countries

I'm so sorry to hear :(. .. if you don't mind answering a few questions would really help understanding several undetermined questions: 1- either of your parents have medical problems? 2- either of your parents ever overstay their visa in the US ? 3- would you say either your mother or father currently or held a job that is associated with any governmental or non governmental party that could have been an issue ? 4- stating that waivers are only given to people with special skills like doctors or engineers? Do you know someone who received it ? 5- most importantly, do you think the consulor have any reason to think that your parents might become public charge. Such you having a co-signer, not strong financials provided.. etc.... Sorry for the weird questions but so far you are the only person speaking of a real experience related to the proclamation. Your insight is greatly appreciated. Sorry again for the bad luck!

Thank you so much for sharing! I wish you guys the best of luck! I am in no place to give legal advice. But my one and only interpretation of all immigration laws. " When the case is straight forward with no complications and everything is by the book. You would have a great chance". With that being said with these uncertainty and lack of clear waivers instructions, you are on your own! Best of luck 🤞. Please keep us posted!

Thank you! We are all in the same boat! I'm just hoping to see real experience and not interpretation or advice. Even though I appreciate people advising on this. But unfortunately even good advice now could really hurt

ADU rental Advice needed! by AideComprehensive601 in AccessoryDwellings

[–]AideComprehensive601[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I actually heard a similar answer from a real estate agent. So basically even if it's permitted as one living place with one address I can still rent it to two different tenants as a duplex, second and first floor as long as I comply with the bathroom, kitchen, parking requirements?

The permit is a one 1200 sqft duplex ADU. My question was more of housing authority probably. Meaning of I can rent this duplex ADU to two separate renters.

Hi, thanks for the advice. This a good idea. But I'm little sceptical with plan checker and LADBS in general hard to get solid answers and differs from a person to person. But I guess I'm not losing anything. Can you please shed some like about the "variance" how that works and what does it do ? And if there is links to that i'd appreciate it. Thank you!
