ban or pause list
Hi. how’s everyone doing? October 19th i filed my citizenship application. 2 weeks later I got the notice and a letter saying they’ll use my old fingerprints. I was waiting on an interview date, then the ban or paused happened, so I basically don’t know if it’s going to move forward or not. I read somewhere 2 weeks ago about someone getting arrested after their interview. I’m currently stressed out bc idk what’s happening. I don’t want that happening to me as well bc I don’t have any criminal records nor do I get any government benefits now or ever. Can someone please offer some clarity and if im gonna need a lawyer or not. thank you
My country is on the ban list, which includes 75 countries.
My country is on the ban list, which includes 75 countries. My adjustment of status is currently in progress through asylum. Can this ban affect my adjustment of status? I entered the U.S. on a tourist visa, and my asylum case has been approved by USCIS.

Changing sponsor
Hello everyone, my pd is Nov,2021, i worked for my current employer(fast food) back in 2023 for 18months n took a long break( after talking to my employer meaning i would return back if needed) meanwhile i moved to a different state without changing my address since i still have my lease up there… *talking about my current scenario I am living in a different state, doing doordash and uber for living, i already have my i485j approved(job confirmation) i have not had my interview so far or any rfe… Financially it has been too tough for me in all these years, my work location was in a city with no other employment opportunities and that was the main reason for me to move back to my state… but after moving here i realized i cant use my ead unless i work in that state itself… i know i am close to my pd being current but i cant take it any longer(financial burden, debt, mental anxiety) so i just wanted to know what are my options?, is it a good idea to change my employer at this stage? the reason i am thinking of doing it so is if i find a employer here at my current state i could work part time there and work full time related to my actual skilled job. please advise #pleasedonotjudge #alreadyfeelinglow
CASE HAS BEEN APPROVED
Hello family! I got VAWA approved yesterday 🎉
Wishing everyone to receive the same message soon.
It says I will receive a notice within the next 14 days.
My question is: should I send my medical exam now, or should I wait for a request from my I-485?
If I wait, how long does it usually take to receive the medical request?
Additional questions:
• How long did it take you to receive your green card after submitting your medical?
• Is everyone scheduled for an interview, or do some people receive the green card by mail without an interview?
Thank you so much 🙏

Submitting Unsolicited evidence after 597 days?
At the time of submission, we only submitted a lease and DL showing shared residence (along with other basic required docs) as evidence.
I tried submitting a case inquiry request, but sadly, my case is still considered “within normal processing time” even after no updates since the initial receipt of biometric notice.
We have pictures, bank statements, affidavits, life insurance, 401k beneficiary information, and we’ll file taxes together this year. I could wait for an RFE or interview, but I’m getting a little paranoid.
I see mixed views on waiting or submittied unsolicited evidence.
Thanks!

Government Looking At Bringing In Tougher Porn Laws
Zoe Crowther
@zoenora6
Exclusive: The government is exploring tougher regulation of online pornography as part of a broader push to make the internet safer, but there are internal divisions over how far to go and who would be responsible for enforcement.
Senior figures in the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the Home Office are pushing for a stronger regulatory and criminal law approach, with No 10 also broadly sympathetic to tighter controls, PoliticsHome understands.
However, government sources have said the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is more cautious about imposing tougher guardrails on online content.
TELL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO REIN IN ICE NOW
On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Nicole Good. These killings are a direct result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.
And yet, the DHS appropriations bill that is up for a vote in the Senate this week would hand MORE funding to ICE and Border Patrol, and do little to rein in their abuses.
We must demand our senators—especially our Democratic senators—refuse to give ICE one more penny of taxpayer money or vote for any funding bill that doesn’t get ICE and Border Patrol out of our cities.
Specifically we are asking that Senators withhold their votes from any legislation funding DHS unless it:
Stops ICE and Border Patrol from receiving more funding
Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension
Stops ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals
Stops ICE or Border Patrol from family detention or increasing private detentions
Ends Border Patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement
Use this tool to instantly contact your Members of Congress with a clear message: Protect our communities by reining in ICE NOW.
The email to your Members of Congress:
Dear Senator/Representative,
As your constituent, I urge you to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security that fails to rein in ICE and Border Patrol and protect our communities.
Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s killings are unacceptable. Enough is enough. This is a result of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies. You cannot stand by while ICE continues to harm communities across the country.
As a member of Congress, you have the power to limit the administration's abuse of power by:
Refusing to vote for any FY2026 appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border Patrol, including funds for detention. The existing system allowed at least 32 people to die in custody in 2025 alone, the deadliest year ever, while thousands of others suffer physical and sexual abuse, medical neglect, and degrading conditions.
Refusing to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS unless it:
Stops ICE and Border Patrol from receiving more funding
Restricts ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at the time of the apprehension
Stops ICE or Border Patrol enforcement at designated ‘sensitive locations’ such as houses of worship, day cares, and hospitals
Stops ICE or Border Patrol from family detention or increasing private detentions
Ends border patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement
Every member of Congress must insist on real limits and accountability before any funding is approved.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you standing up for the safety, dignity, and rights of all people in our communities.
[UPDATE] The Senate vote on DHS funding + what comes next
I
Indivisible Team
to me
3 hours agoDetails
Inowei,
Yesterday, the Senate voted to pass a package of five funding bills plus a temporary, continuing resolution that would fund DHS for two weeks. There’s a lot to unpack, but here’s what you need to know right now:
Democrats are finally taking this fight seriously, but we need them to hold the line. We cannot settle for empty reforms while ICE and CBP terrorize our communities, violate our constitutional rights, and kill innocent people. Democrats have the leverage to demand real restrictions on ICE and CBP, and they have two weeks to get the job done.
Ready to take action?
We dive into the policy weeds and our demands below, but if you’re ready to take action, call your senators today. Use our updated call scripts to demand they fight for a bill that will actually protect our communities from ICE’s brutality and lawlessness.
Call Your Senators >>
The timeline and the wonky details
Thursday
The DHS bill that included more money for ICE, was packaged with five other bills funding other parts of the government like the Treasury Department and Health and Human Services. Democrats demanded that the funding package be split so the DHS bill could be renegotiated. Republicans refused, so on Thursday, Democrats blocked that funding package altogether.
Friday
Eventually, Republicans agreed to split the package, but as part of the deal, Democrats voted for a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund DHS for two weeks. This will keep ICE and CBP operating as they are. That is bad, full stop. Every day these agencies are funded is another day they can continue to terrorize our communities. This is an all-hands-on-deck crisis.
Today
The two-week funding deal passed by the Senate needs to be voted on in the House. While we wait for the House to return to DC, the government is technically in a partial shutdown this weekend, but this shutdown won’t impact food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC, or Social Security payments, Medicare, and Medicaid.
What comes next
Republicans are on the backfoot. On Monday, when the House returns to DC, our intel is that this package will sail through. Then, our two week DHS countdown is on.
In these two weeks, Democrats have an opportunity -- and a moral duty -- to press their advantage and not offer the GOP a single offramp. That means drawing firm red lines and conditioning their votes on real, ironclad restrictions on ICE and CBP.
Our demands
Many of the proposals we've seen floated on the Hill don’t do enough to protect our communities from ICE and Border Patrol. We need ICE and CBP out of our communities, real accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids, profiling, and the occupation of our cities. At minimum, your senators should vote no on any DHS funding bill unless it:
Denies the Trump regime’s demands for increased DHS funding.
Strengthens restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations and target people based on their race, language or accent, or place of employment.
Stops ICE or Border patrol enforcement at houses of worship, schools, day cares, and hospitals.
Stops ICE or Border Patrol from enacting family detentions or increasing private detentions.
Ends Border Patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in immigration enforcement.
How to take action
Over the last few weeks, the public has made it overwhelmingly clear that they oppose ICE and CBP’s reign of terror and want to see Congress fight back. Now, Republicans are retreating, and Democrats are starting to find their spines. Our organized outrage is working.
But we cannot let up now and we cannot let Democrats settle for empty reforms. To secure real restrictions on ICE and CBP that will actually protect our communities, we need to keep up the pressure on Congress.
1️⃣ Call your senators today. Use our updated call scripts to demand they vote no on any bill that gives ICE more money for their brutality or does not include serious restrictions to rein them in
