Trump new Exec Order - no impact on AOS?

[ChicagoScot]

Just saw this:
Trump targets foreign workers with new visa freeze https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53145317

assume, as per previous exec order, this does not impact AOS (I-485) within the US? Only consular processing of GCs for those abroad?

I read that USCIS had erroneously been holding up GC approvals and issuance because some offices had incorrectly been advised that Trump’s order applied to AOS cases within the US. My attorney advised that this has now been straightened out and that GCs are being approved/issued again.

any solid info on this?

I think the proclamation is posted here

https://www.whitehouse.gov/president...irus-outbreak/

And a summary here:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings...omy-greatness/

The reduction in immigration may not impact us directly through AOS but no doubt will cause USCIS to cry louder about the 1.2 billion USD they need to avoid a furlough of 75% of their workforce in August and thus delay us ever more.

Snippet from the proclamation:


(b) The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 2 of this proclamation shall not apply to:

(i) any lawful permanent resident of the United States;

(ii) any alien who is the spouse or child, as defined in section 101(b)(1) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1101(b)(1)), of a United States citizen;

(iii) any alien seeking to enter the United States to provide temporary labor or services essential to the United States food supply chain; and

(iv) any alien whose entry would be in the national interest as determined by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or their respective designees.


Sec. 6. Termination. This proclamation shall expire on December 31, 2020, and may be continued as necessary. Within 30 days of the effective date of this proclamation and every 60 days thereafter while this proclamation is in effect, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Labor, recommend any modifications as may be necessary.

The two proclamations do not affect people who are physically in the US on the effective date of the proclamations. They also only affect entry, and do not affect AOS/COS/EOS.
