Is it safe to attend the interview?
I’ve been approved for my EB2 NIW (consular processing), just received my interview invitation letter, my country of origin is among the 75 countries listed in Trump’s ban. is it safe to attend the interview? Anyone in a similar situation? Has anyone been granted who falls in the category?

the 75 countries thing is not “ban” it’s pause, they will interview you normally, but you will need to wait pause lift to receive your GC visa.

if you’re in the USA, do you have an h1b visa to return back to the USA after the interview? if not, you might want to check with a lawyer

I would be very cautious. The State Department’s 75-country immigrant visa pause says affected applicants may still submit applications and attend interviews, but visa issuance is paused unless an exception applies.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!

No need to be very cautious. Attend the interview. You will be issued a 221g. when the pause is lifted the embassy will send you details on how to get the visa.
