Q: Does the ban on new green cards until dec 31 affect only the consular processing?

Does the ban on new green cards until dec 31 affect only the consular processing, or the approval of i130 and NVC are likely to be slower too? My husband filed F2A for me, our priority date is in sept 2019

A: On June 22, 2020, the President signed a Proclamation extending his previous immigration ban (Proclamation 10014) effective immediately, and extending new restrictions on the entry of certain non-immigrant workers, effective at 12:01 AM EDT, June 24, 2020.

The latest Proclamation does not affect the processing of a FORM I-130 with USCIS nor the processing of the case at the NVC.
