If I’m reading it correctly, the wording of the order indicates you’d be ok, it falls outside the scope of the ban:

Sec. 2. Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry. (a) The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 1 of this proclamation shall apply only to aliens who:

(i) are outside the United States on the effective date of this proclamation;

(ii) do not have an immigrant visa that is valid on the effective date of this proclamation; and .....

OK. So it doesn’t affect us, but the likelihood of us being able to extend our visas is minimal. So now have to decide if we stay or go. We don’t have the option of doing a quick trip anymore from NZ, as you’re not allowed to self quarantine here anymore (have to go into government funded quarantine) so they won’t let us leave and come back. Think Auckland - Honolulu - Minneapolis at the end of June might be our safest bet, virus wise. Just hoping the Governors of Hawaii and MN hold tight to get rid of this thing.
 
So I can't enter in the US, I can't enter to activate my visa and get the green card and I can't flight neither before the 11:59pm of the 23rd.... So yeah, ok

Your problem is the same as it always was, you are coming from a “banned” country/cannot get a flight. Nothing in the presidential order changes your particular situation as you already have a visa.

Visas cannot be extended, they can issue a new one only for what I have been told!

So with this new order I may try to enter once the first one will be over? It's quite confusional everyone say something different, free interpretation and the CBP that says to contact the airline...

I'm confused as to how they could refuse entry to their own residents/citizens...? They might not be happy that you left... Is there an actual ban on travel leaving NZ?

Not as such. But because it incurs a government cost, it’s frowned upon. In Australia they’re stopping people leaving.

Yeah we had that discussion already...not going there again
 
Hi
I have already faced my interview. But passport is still in the embassy. CEAC status is AP but my visa approve in the interview. What will happen to my DV dream?

Australian government won't allow us to leave, and US government doesn't want us to come it seems.
Our visas expire in a month so at this stage it looks like our best chance is to hope that we can get Visas reissued before Sept 30, if this immigration ban is lifted before then that is.
 
If I read it correctly, those who are doing AOS(adjustment of status) are not affected by this because they are in the US.
Am I right or those points should be read as "OR" like either not in the US or doesn't have an immigration visa etc?

The new EO is not applicable to AOSers.
 
so it is practically over ..
is there any possibility that the process can be extended beyond September since it's suspended temporarily? i am almost certain about the answer that it isn't possible, however i hope that there will be an exception this year .. :confused:

Or you can try and fly this month, before your visa expires... in amongst all the madness. The ban on entering is anyone who doesn’t already have an immigrant visa, from how I’m reading it.

Yeah that's the way I'm reading it. The first hurdle would be to get permission to leave the country from the Aus gov. I'm also hoping there is no quarantine for incoming passengers in SFO at the moment.
