Q: How does new Trump's Executive Order affect me? (just 1 week away to send my docs to USCIS under Cuban Adjustment Act)
In a week, it is 1 year and 1 day I have been living in the US and I am supposed to send my documents to USCIS to apply for my residence under Cuban Adjust Act Immigrant Program. Does the new Trump's executive order, pausing 60 days Immigration Green Card Processing affect me? If yes, should I send my documents in 1 week as if anything had changed?
A: Hi there! The current executive order will not affect you as it only applies to aliens who are outside of the US and applying for immigrant visa ( green card) through the U.S. consulate. However, I would recommend that you apply for green card as soon as you become eligible. Good luck!

A:
The order does not affect people that are already in the USA. You should apply as soon as you can.

A:
You are already in the USA. Your case will be processed at the regional center and possibly your local office. However, interviews and biometrics have been suspended. This will delay your file.
In some cases the USCIS is using previously taken biometrics however there is no specific information on this.
A: It only affects those who are overseas. Your case might still be delayed because USCIS offices are not accepting in-person appointments at this time.
