Will the Proposed U.S. Visa Ban Affect My Pending IR-1/CR-1 Petition from Azerbaijan?
Hello everyone,
I am a U.S. citizen originally from Azerbaijan. I became a U.S. citizen in 2019. In 2024, I married my wife in Azerbaijan and filed an I-130 petition for her and our child in September 2024 under the IR-1/CR-1 category (family-based immigration).
Since the filing, I have been outside the United States to be with my family due to an urgent family situation. Our case is still pending and has not been approved yet.
Recently, I read news that the U.S. government may ban permanent visas for citizens of 75 countries, and Azerbaijan is included among them.
My question is:
Since my I-130 was filed in September 2024, will this potential new law affect my pending visa petition and my family’s ability to immigrate? Will the new rules apply to my case even though the petition was already submitted before the ban?
Thank you in advance for your help.

15 hour in secondary at IAH
Just want to share my personal experience I travel back this Monday for fifth time using my combo card and I was send to secondary where I spend 15 hours I was question about my case, my life and my past it was really exausting to be there but I was trying to be calm because I knew I was not lying and I was saying the truth after been questioned for around 3 hours they give me back my passport, card and my phone and I was allowed back in. They put a stamp that I was paroled for 1 year. Did someone have had the same experience? Have you travel back after any experience like this?
