Is it concerning that even Storie has not reached a verdict?

I cannot stand this much longer. I really am trying and hate to share negativity. So maybe I should just ask, are the judges waiting on each other. We have not heard from STORIE and that was briefed before CLINIC. Is this what they mean by courts take forever?

Verdict on a weekend?

So can Judge Vargas release a verdict during the weekend? Thats basically my question.So I can stop refreshing the sub. I did not know I was in such a bad place until I wrote this.

Anyways, can we hear news about the CLINIC or STORIE case during the weekend?

How long to visa after pause is lifted?

I am up early, missing my wife a little extra and started dreaming up scenarios for when the pause eventually lifts.

I would say we will need 2 weeks for the medical exam and then maybe another week for the visa at the embassy. Another week for the passport to post to and from the embassy.

Do you think it will be straight forward as just posting the passport or will another interview need to be scheduled? I am more inclined to the former since they did seem to be insistent that we do our interviews.

So realistically it should take around a 4-6 weeks.

So if the pause were to be lifted tomorrow it would take till around August before they can join us in the US?

Tourist Visa while paused

I know most probably it’s going to be refused. My wife did apply for a B1/B2 and got refused while her I-130 was pending. But now that she is paused. Do you think she has a chance of getting a visa? It’s very difficult for me to travel and leave work, and I am already out of paid leave. Anyone try this?

Revers the visa issuance pause, unite the families

We are navigating the system for 9+ years and when we got just this close to the end, the consular put us on administrative processing (because she just needed some time to review our case as there is a lot going on with the case). This was on Nov 5, 2025 before any pause applies. We couldn't make it out of the administrative process before 1/21/2016 when this pause took place and we were cleared on 3/17/2026 and yet no visa and we have to wait (for who knows how long) till this pause is lifted.

Very devastating and extremely stressful.
