I come bearing anecdata of U.S. [work] visa fuckwittage, mes amies: Trump administration's inability to find its arse with both hands &/or distinguish said body part from the elbow is spinning out into some quite epic [work] visa fail. And not for people from countries on the shit list. Or who've been to said countries. Or whose names "look a bit Muslim". Not, clearly, that those things are in any way acceptable, but it seems things are... stalling... far beyond the expected, and in a way beyond the normal bureaucratic process.
This comes from a very lovely erstwhile ballet classmate who I was rather surprised to see in the studio today, what with the bit where she moved to the States for work a couple of years ago. She's back because she did all the right things for her visa renewal &... nope. Not denied, I hasten to add, just... nothing. Lots of people in a similar situation when she tries chasing in person at the embassy apparently. If it doesn't get sorted in the next few weeks she's going to have to move back here, which... gah.
(Oh & thank you to the PP who were so kind about my woesplosion on the last thread.
