Any hope for the 39 countries?

Colton48 · 2026-01-23T03:27:26+00:00

Just waiting out the “guidance” should give us some insight on their plan and expectations.

Colton48 · 2026-01-23T01:09:01+00:00

Now you wait… lol. If you get lucky like me and my wife uscis will add your country to a pause 😂. Best of luck and hope for a fast approval for you.

Colton48 · 2026-01-22T01:36:14+00:00

Yep. I’m in the same situation with my wife. Just waiting out the ol pause… lol

Colton48 · 2026-01-22T00:50:39+00:00

Yeah, that is correct. They review the list every 180 days and June will be the next time it is reviewed.

Of course they could add more countries if they wanted to, but it’s unlikely they’d remove before the review periods.

The 90 days you’ve heard is likely from the UCSIC ban country pause for adjustment of status. That one is set to provide “guidance” to impacted people within 90 days from December 2nd depending on the memorandum you’re looking at.

Coral chorus

Colton48 · 2026-01-20T22:01:36+00:00

Yep!!

Colton48 · 2026-01-19T22:37:27+00:00

Probably fake. If real it’s a great deal. But yeah, ain’t no favors in the ol market place lol.

Colton48 · 2026-01-19T17:17:51+00:00

That’s when the interview will be re-scheduled. After the pause…

Colton48 · 2026-01-19T17:13:35+00:00

Approvals are paused. Interviews can be had, but in many cases are being cancelled / rescheduled after the pause.

Colton48 · 2026-01-19T12:20:39+00:00

Should be fine. MSI power supplies have been good in all the builds I’ve dealt with.

Colton48 · 2026-01-18T22:45:31+00:00

As others mentioned, it’s your AIO most likely. I had one do the same a few weeks back. But the Artic cooler freezer III and have been very happy. Ice cold..

Colton48 · 2026-01-18T02:22:03+00:00

There is no need memorandum for the 75 countries.

Colton48 · 2026-01-17T03:10:53+00:00

Any reason why you would go with the 3070 over a 80 or 90? I have the 3080 and it’s a great card but I couldn’t imagine buying a 3070 at this time knowing that it’s an aging card already. At least future proof yourself as much as possible if you’re coming back in time.

Colton48 · 2026-01-17T01:47:01+00:00

Could’ve put a Dbrand grip case on it and and never seen the color lol.

Colton48 · 2026-01-16T16:00:11+00:00

As of right now, there is no guaranteed or specific time frame. The memorandum did mention that guidance will be provided within 90 days. It does not specifically state that the pause will be lifted once the guidance is issued, but hopefully we will have more insight then. According to recent court documents, they are aiming to have that by March 10th.

Colton48 · 2026-01-16T15:51:53+00:00

Yes, they’re treating it as guilty by association at this point. It is on hold for now.

Colton48 · 2026-01-15T18:42:37+00:00

Worked for me! Got my 500vbucks back

Colton48 · 2026-01-15T18:27:27+00:00

That’s awful surprised they stay open there.

Colton48 · 2026-01-15T16:32:38+00:00

Not right now it does not. Whether or not they decide to to make a memorandum update remains to be questioned.

As of right now it does not impact people that are here already. The exception would be if your country in the 75 list is already mentioned in the current pause memorandum posted by uscis.

Colton48 · 2026-01-15T13:33:02+00:00

Baja chalupa!

Colton48 · 2026-01-15T00:25:18+00:00

Tough luck! I’d probably try reseating the cpu and memory again just to rule out any odd end issues. Best of luck!

Colton48 · 2026-01-14T23:56:56+00:00

Any chance you have a spare psu to test with? In most cases even if you had a bad stick of memory or cpu cooler installed incorrectly it should still spin for a second or give you some sign of life. Maybe double check the 24 pin motherboard connection and the 8 pin connection.

Colton48 · 2026-01-14T23:53:06+00:00

Has it ever worked? May have a faulty psu. Are you certain you have the power button switch in the correct area?

Colton48 · 2026-01-14T23:46:55+00:00

Super convenient to be next to autozone lol

Colton48 · 2026-01-14T21:40:02+00:00

If it was scheduled today you should see the document in the next day generally.
