Can USCIS Approve an I-140 If the Applicant’s Country Is Under an Immigrant Visa Ban (temporary)?
Very important question to clarify some confusion.
If a country is temporarily banned from immigrant visa issuance at U.S. consulates, can a petitioner still obtain I-140 approval from USCIS?
In other words, does a consular immigrant visa restriction affect USCIS’s adjudication of the I-140 petition itself, or would USCIS still approve the I-140 while visa issuance is simply paused at the consular level?
I would really appreciate input from anyone who has experience or reliable information on this. Thank you.

I-140 approval has nothing to do with your nationality. They never check your nation during I-140. When you file for I485, they will accept your application but they will not approve I485 and EAD card. My friend from Nigeria applied for I485 and waiting for I485 and EAD card approval.
