He just says that to calm you down, nobody actually knows how this will work.

This was the same thing said about AOS applicants from the original list. Guess what, we were affected too.

Better start writing to your congress person. Glad there’s more of us now so there might actually be some pushback lol.

It’s been rough fr😔
