I’m on my last step for adjustment of status on the green card, just waiting on an answer, but the thanksgiving overnight notice got me by surprise. I’m terrified now, and literally don’t know what to think. Any of you out there going through the same? Any attorney knows what this can mean to us immigrants?

I’m from a third world country and I just got my green card approved! Not from the 19 countries though

Thanks 🙏

What was the notice?

Same on last step. What notice?

The notice that they would freeze migration from third world countries

I just read it, and it’s not all third world countries, it’s a bit more specific and the list is not that long. So unless to come from one of those countries, I wouldn’t be that worried.

I am on the last step as well, but as far as I know not all the countries are at risk yet, it’s only for those which are listed, I think 19. Hopefully we should be fine, but let’s wait until it comes.
