Anyone from the countries on the immigrant visa ban list get their PERM approved recently? My PERM (EB2) just got approved and I was wondering if my I-140 will get denied or put to the side because I’m from a country on the ban list. Or is it I-485 that will be affected because of the ban or both?

My employer is planning to file I-140 using premium processing so I guess I’ll find out soon after but just wanted to check here first.

More context:

My PERM was filed Feb 2025 and got approved this month (or at least I was just notified by my employer this month), so it took exactly 15 months from the very day it was filed.

My priority date is current, however, I can’t file I-485 yet because I’m not at the position for which the PERM was filed but I will find out about promotion by July-August ish.

My main concern is the immigrant visa ban for my country and how that affects my case. Is it I-140 that will be affect or I-485 or both? Going to ask the lawyers all these questions as well but wanted to check here just in case anyone has first hand experience with this.

Help me with my struggle!

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

Weekend bottles, what’re people drinking?
