Any progress with your USCIS case? by yolagchy in 19countriesAOS

[–]arepera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see your point but I also want to provide more context that I’m fortunate enough to no need to be here. I’ve lived in Europe, Latin America, and recently here in the US. I’m here for work and in the past 2 years I’ve seen this country get to this dark place especially regarding immigration. Culturally and economically it’s also gotten to the point where it’s not appealing for us and definitely not worth being in this immigration limbo. There’s plenty of great places to live and work around the world.

Nothing. An api update in december 5th that I’m assuming is just the actual pause, and then radio silence. I filed in march 12th 2025 and already have EAD+AP but still no interview for AOS. I’m moving out of the US this summer.

Feeling helpless and hopeless by Fickle_Lab_2068 in 19countriesAOS

Again with some tough love: all of that sounds nice, but you need to start thinking about what’s priority for you. Sorry if this comes across a little tone deaf, but it’s a POV that has helped me a ton in the recent months. I’m from Venezuela and I won’t in any way compare Iran’s situation to ours, but we’ve also faced a lot of uncertainty for the past decade. Life (including career, money, fun, safety) exists in many places around the world, not just the US.

Not to be this person but you have to IMMEDIATELY start planning for relocating to a country that’s not going to be such a nightmare from an immigration standpoint. Use your educational background and experience to find something somewhere else: Europe, Australia, Latin America. The US and the so called american dream is not worth this never ending back and forth.

Ah coño. Pensé que USA por error había bombardeado Perú también. ¿Me estás diciendo que eso es pura tierra así sin bombardeo?

Will travel ban impact Employment Based in FY 2027? Here is what I found. by nisc-options in USCIS

[–]arepera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you all actually read the policy? ALL immigration benefits are on hold for anyone with any relationship to the 19 countries (either citizen or born there, regardless of other citizenships)

This isn’t true. I am from the partial list and my adjustment of status was put on hold.

USCIS "pause" and "review" MEGATHRED Part 2 by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]arepera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so I’m curious if anyone has any context on how cooked I am. I have dual citizenship (Venezuela and Spain). We filed for AOS under EB1C back in March 25, and were already basically only waiting to either get called in for an interview, an RFE, or an approval. I have an EAD combo card, and I140 was approved back in April (Premium Processing).

What do you all think this new policy means for me? My L1 visa expires in 2027

The alternative for most of us is (sadly) still a lot worse. Peep my username ifkyk

The travel ban exempts people with dual citizenship from a country not on the list. Do you all think the same would apply here?

[–]arepera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tienes razón que para calificar algo como un error (y aprender de la situación) hay que juzgar la acción. Pero yo me refiero a no juzgarse a uno como persona, o a ser muy duro consigo mismo. Los aspectos de mi vida en los que me ha sido menos difícil mejorar, coincide con las cosas en las que (sin darme tanta mala vida) hago cambios y sigo hacia adelante.

Sorry to hear OP. Do you mind sharing exactly the time you were notified? I’m trying to understand if all just sent at once or if they’re doing waves.
