You will be fine.

Guys I think similar to the prior EO in which he temporarily halted GC processing for people outside of the US I think this EO will be constructed in a similar way. From what I've read, this will not impact people applying for an h1b who already have a legal status (or people applying from within the US).

I honestly wish Trump would just ban the new H1B visas. It gives me a great reason to leave this shithole of a coutry

I completely understand that's it a very tough decision to make yourself but it may just as well be a blessing in disguise.

Yā€™all need to chill and enjoy your life and stop waiting for the EO

Haha. Iā€™ll definitely be out too. But until then Iā€™m chilling.

I canā€™t believe this thread got hijacked by another EY. Why is it always EY? Iā€™m happy to see many supportive folks here though. Sadly EY1 likes to play the victim card and that doesnā€™t really help with the image of immigrants within our workforce.

@OP - are you suggesting that there is a possibility for the ban to include people already working on H1-b visa and waiting for GCs will be affected as well?

Who knows šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

EY1 - stop wishing for them to ban you. Take control of your life and leave the country if thatā€™s what you want. If you havenā€™t left by now, maybe you donā€™t fully want to leave. Donā€™t appreciate your attitude.

Hi EY1 - itā€™s tough to be in your position. I was in similar position as well and everyday my head was frozen by the anxiety since it seemed that there was no good outcome whatever I decided. It was so painful and very few people could understand. PLEASE DONT GIVE UP HOPE - thatā€™s one thing nobody can take away from you and I. I eventually moved to another country so now I am counting my blessings everyday and knowing that not everyone is as lucky as I was. If itā€™s of any help, it was really helpful for me to cut all unnecessary socializing such as networking or meeting up with acquaintances during the uncertain times. I made a concise decision to only see the few people that can understand and supportive of what I was going through. It helped me to get out of my apartment (and not googling immigration news 24/7) and avoid unhelpful comments from random people who have no clue whatā€™s like. I truly wish you all the best and perseverance wherever you end up
