Does the new travel ban affect Form I-130 processing if my spouse is from one of the banned countries?
My I-130 has been pending for almost 16 months with no updates or progress, and I’m concerned the ban may be causing delays.
Any insight or similar experiences would be appreciated.

It depends on what travel ban. IF this relates to the one affecting 75 countries, she might be affected if she is outside of the USA, but not at the I130 stage.
