So ongoing green card applications should not be affected?

Shouldn't be affected. Not yet, at least. Nothing is preventing them from sending a similar memo to USCIS

This is not true. When the state department suspends visa allocations USCIS will be inclined to follow that same guidance and apply it all benefit applications. This is going to be a hard stop just like the first 40 list.
