Donald Trump: How will his presidency affect AOS

[Lordjohnex]

Hi everybody,

This has just been on my mind for a minute. Now that Donald Trump is President Elect, how will his presidency affect AOS pending applicants?

Has he said anything about it yet?

He said he will 'freeze' green cards and put caps on legal immigration, does anyone have a point of view or opinion of what this means and how this will affect us individually?

Thanks

This is pure conjecture on my part but I don't think for the short term it will have any effect on applications already in USCIS pipeline.

Hmmm, i also want to believe that. But in his immigration plan he said he'd 'freeze' green card applications. Is it feasible for a president to do that?

i dont think he has the power to do that unless the republican congress agrees....it will take years before it will come into effect if they approve it tho
