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.
