What impact will a Trump Presidency have on marriage based visas?
Hi guys,
Was just wondering what impact a Trump Presidency will have on marriage based visas?
We're going to be submitting soon, just wondering if anything will happen regarding a huge immigration reform in the next 6-12 months or so? I know Trump doesn't take office until the 20th January, but still, any thoughts?

I'm having this moved to the general forum. It is not an immigration question.
Trump will have no effect on marriage-based visa immigration. His platform, afaik, was based on illegal immigrants, not on visa based immigration.

I really think we'll be alright, I don't think he'll get in and start slamming down hard on legal immigration - I think illegal immigration is his thing. I think the most we might see is harder scrutiny of applicants etc.

As long as you're not brown you'll probably be fine.

This is all I could find on the matter:
"Reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, keeping immigration levels within historic norms."

Oh, also if your marriage is same sex based you might be screwed. Hurry up and get your 10 yr greencard as soon as possible. If you really want to stay that is.

You have a weird obsession with race. You are just about the only one that brings it up.

A realistic guess would be that costs will go up. The fees are supposed to pay for the effort required, are they not? If added steps / checks are involved in the process then it would be the applicant footing the bill for the increased costs involved.
