Amy asked, "What about the seventy-five country ban?" So the seventy-five country pause was initiated by President Trump and the State Department saying that from these specific seventy-five countries, uh, they're going to, like, uh, these people come to the United States for, with green cards.

They don't support themselves, so we're gonna stop that until we figure out what we're gonna do, and that was it.

And, uh, a court or two struck that down recently, and as soon as they did that, the government said, "Okay, we're just gonna shut down all green card processing through the embassy." So from one illegal move to another.

[laughs] So right now you can't get a green card interview for at least the next few weeks, uh, probably most of September, probably getting into Oct- early October, and that's gonna mess things up a lot.

But in the meantime, they just shut down all green card processing through the embassies and we don't know what's gonna happen with that.

They're just, you know, making it up as they go along in any way that could hurt you, the person going through this process.

So that's in a nutshell what we're seeing with this so-called seventy-five country pause or ban or whatever you wanna call it.
