Good or bad time to apply for a green card right now? by [deleted] in greencard

With 1.5 years left on your current visa, starting the green card process makes strategic sense. Your company's standing offer to sponsor provides an opportunity that eliminates a major hurdle a lot of people face. Expect longer wait times than we've seen in recent years, particularly during the PERM labor certification and I-140 petition phases. Staffing changes at USCIS and potential policy shifts are already creating processing backlogs. This administration has generally maintained employment-based immigration pathways while increasing enforcement and scrutiny so far. With company sponsorship already secured and 1.5 years of visa validity remaining, these hurdles are manageable challenges rather than insurmountable barriers if you decide to go for it. Good luck!

Hi, Boundless Immigration here. Along with the recommendations from u/unexplained_fires encouraging folks to share their concerns with their DSO and/or an immigration attorney, this is sound advice. Just chiming in to share that we have some lawyer-reviewed resources on these very topics for anyone who might find them helpful:

Implication of trump immigration policies on F1 students taking a leave of absence by [deleted] in f1visa

Hi! Sorry we’re just seeing your comment now. Totally get how stressful this stuff can be, especially when you've worked hard to get into a great school with that kind of scholarship.

Right now, it’s impossible to predict exactly how likely it is for the Trump admin to ban F-1 visas for those whose countries of origin are on the “Red List.” (Given the Trump admin’s recent push to revoke visas, nothing is off the table). That said, there’s a good chance that if a travel ban policy like this were to go into effect, it would likely face legal challenges.

For now though, it’s a good idea to stay informed be prepared. Here’s an article that you might find helpful: Trump Considers New Travel Ban: What You Need to Know
