The Trump administration has indefinitely suspended immigrant visa processing for people from 75 countries, freezing applications from 21 January as part of a sweeping crackdown on legal immigration pathways.
We would like to hear from people from countries on the visa ban list who are currently in the immigrant visa application process, particularly those who are at an advanced or final stage.
How has the freeze affected you and your plans? How long have you been in the process, and what stage were you at when you heard the news? How is the uncertainty affecting your work, studies, family life or future plans?
