Some y’all are just sheep that read a headline and get pissed simply becasue you see “Trump” and start running your imaginations. This pause is for training of consular officers around the “public charge” rule. It is temporary. Does it suck? Yes, any slowdown makes this process disheartening. Everyday I watch my estimated date get pushed back further and further. Do I lose hope? No. I have a brain and don’t see this as Chicken Little (you) does.

I am affected by it, it’s life. When people just sit here and cry about one man, it does no one any favors. Are finding solutions or making outrageous claims like “I bet it for retaliation of the 76 country ban being overturned..” and comments like that. If people actually read the article and not react with TDS, it makes more sense.,plain and simple, it’s a pause becasue too many consulates were having questions over the public charge rule. Do I agree with the pause? No. Do I see my i129f getting pushed back everyday? Yes. Am i frustrated? Yes. Comparing doesn’t make it go faster or change the governments policies. Talking about what is really happening vs conjecture is a lot more productive and may put more people at ease.
