Trump’s New Executive Proclamation - Travel Suspension 2.0

Alien2010 said:
In order for any bill to become law, not only does it need to pass both chambers of Congress but also needs to be signed into law by the President (i.e. not vetoed).

What are the chances of him not vetoing a bill that would effectively invalidate his E.O.?

Doesn't anyone see the contradiction in this? Am I missing a subtle point?

I think it's impossible to know. Presidents do sometimes sign bills that they don't like. They have to weigh their own goals against the prospect of having the veto overridden, and what that means for them politically - which could be good or bad, depending on the circumstances. A lot of negotiating and horse trading goes on behind the scenes and it's just hard to predict what they'll do. This amendment is a very small addition to a major appropriations bill, and it's a pretty moderate suggestion, so it might not draw a huge amount of attention.
 
I have been informed that 2020 DV winners who have not yet got their VISAS will be impacted by this EO.

Like I said - slim to none.

Someone mentioned the other day that they were in direct contact with one of the lawyers and they were trying to fix that part. But, honestly, it is all hearsay right now.

Yes, I know the source of that comment, but as I mentioned this is not going anywhere to be helpful for DV2020.
 
One Month Extension of Immigrant Visa Medical Examinations
Last Updated: July 24, 2020
Immigrant visas are limited to the validity of the medical examination for a maximum of six months. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved a one-month extension for medical examinations conducted between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2020. If you were unable to travel on your issued visa or obtained your medical examination but did not receive your visa, contact the Immigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that issued or is adjudicating your visa application to determine whether you may be issued or reissued a visa for one additional month. If you are not able to travel within the one additional month, consider waiting until you are able to travel and obtain a new, full validity medical examination and visa.

Pretty sure this is a non-issue, but would this affect current Green Card Holders that are outside the US?

Am currently in New Zealand but I plan to return well before the 12 month cut off date, barring any re-entry issues

If you already have your green card then no, this will not effect you
