فضای برخورد با این USCIS Pause جالبه.

اونایی که عملا status و شغل شون رو از دست دادن و در مرز فروپاشی روانی هستن دارن برای افرادی میجنگن که هنوز حاشیه ی امنیت دارن و حقوق و مزایاشون سرجاش هست (البته فعلا).

احیاناً اگر کسی تا حالا به مصائب این USCIS Hold فکر نکرده یا ساده فکر کرده:
» اگر EAD نداشته باشید که جای بحثی نیست و این عزیزان در حساس ترین شرایط هستند.

»با فرض اینکه 1 دسامبر 2025، EAD STEM شما تمدید شده باشد هم عملا در جایی که هستید قفل خواهید بود.
- اگر layoff شوید، عملا پیدا کردن شغل بعدی بسیار سخت هست. employer ها این وضعیت رو shaky میدونن و عملا تمایلی به جذب ندارند.
- در شغل فعلی چندان قدرت چانه زدن ندارید و دست شما زیر سنگ employer خواهد بود.
- هرگونه update ابعاد زندگی (مسکن، ماشین، …) رو باید cancel کنید.

» و اما افرادی که فعلا دانشجو هستند و شاید وضعیت تا حدودی Safe هست.
- با وضعیتی که funding پروژه ها در دولت جدید دارد، خیلیا باید زودتر از موعد دفاع کنند و وارد دوره ی pending (بدون اجازه ی کار) شوند.
- در صورت ف الاتحصیلی ایده آل و حتی مصادف با دوره ی بعد از ترامپ، با توجه به حجم سنگین پرونده های USCIS، بسیار محتمل میدونم که روند بررسی بسیار کندتر و صف زیادی ایجاد شود. در نتیجه ۱-۳ سال دوره ی OPT برای گرفتن گرین کارد کفایت نخواهد کرد.

» پس اگر الان این Pause برداشته نشود، و همه ی ما متحد نشویم، باید از همین الان بلیط خروج آمریکا رو بگیریم یا اگر خیلی خوش شانس باشیم کسی رو داشته باشیم که ۲-۳ سال بریم روی مبل خونه ش بخوابیم تا Hold خشک بشه و بیفته!

*Doctors in Limbo: The human Cost of USCIS Policy Pause PM-602-0192/94*

“It turned the best day of my life to the worst day of my life,”

“In the middle of this war, [our family in Iran] is praying for us in the US — not for themselves!!.”

Dr. Zahra Shokri Varniab is an Iranian physician-scientist who spent years in the United States as a postgraduate fellow and radiology researcher at Stanford Medicine. Her research work in multimodal imaging and advanced MRI techniques has been cited nearly 400 times. As an accomplished physician-scientist, she secured a highly competitive radiology residency position this year, poised to translate that talent and expertise into direct benefit for medicine and patients in the US. The USCIS itself had already recognized the exceptional value of her work, approving her green card petition on the basis of extraordinary ability and national interest (Einstein Green Card).

Then came the final step: paperwork to receive the green card.

In December, USCIS policy pause PM-602-0192/94 took effect without warning and was applied retroactively to people who had filed many months earlier, with no remedies for reliance issues. Suddenly, not only was her green card frozen, but so too were the work authorization benefits normally available during the process. She was swept into the policy because she was born in Iran, one of 39 affected countries, despite years of lawful presence and meaningful contribution in the United States.

Because residency positions run on fixed timelines, the impact would be devastating to their careers, she and her husband filed suit to challenge the policy. They won a preliminary injunction, with the judge finding they were likely to succeed on the merits and signaling that the indefinite pause policy was likely arbitrary and unlawful. That should have been the end of it.

It was not.

Once the judge ordered pause to be lifted, on March 20, USCIS denied her green card, saying she was not “sufficiently candid and truthful.” Her attorney disputes this and argues the denial is unjustified.

Per CNN reporting : Morrison called the agency’s denial a “manufactured allegation” that is retaliatory in nature, alleging the application was denied because Shokri Varniab is an Iranian
national. The case is ongoing in courts.

On the very same day USCIS denied her application, Dr. Shokri Varniab matched into a six-year diagnostic radiology research track residency, a remarkable achievement in one of the most competitive specialties in medicine. This year, only 16% of immigrant applicants to diagnostic radiology secured a position.

“It turned the best day of my life to the worst day of my life,” she said.

Now she faces the same uncertainty as so many others: after years of training, research, and legal compliance, she still does not know whether she will be allowed to begin her residency in July. Her attorney has moved to challenge the denial. Case is ongoing in federal courts.

Security reviews can and should be conducted on an individualized, evidence-based basis, rather than through broad measures that may affect entire groups without regard to individual circumstances. The practical effect is that highly trained, law-abiding physicians may be sidelined from patient care at the very moment they are ready to serve, for reasons unrelated to their personal conduct. The result is disruption not only to their lives and careers, but also to patient care and the american communities that depend on them.

Secretary Rubio @SecRubio,

Just so you know, Trita Parsi @tparsi is also a Green Card holder.

He holds citizenship in Iran and Sweden.

Trita Parsi is a mouthpiece for the Iranian Regime and has used NIAC @NIACouncil and the Quincy Institute @QuincyInst to push out pro-Iranian regime talking points.

He should be deported next.

He is truly a threat to US National Security.

[کوکب خانم @Kokab_Khanoomm]

Thank you for taking action against individuals who openly support the Iranian regime while living in the United States. Holding such individuals accountable is important and sends a clear message.

At the same time, we respectfully ask that a clear distinction be made between regime supporters and ordinary Iranian nationals.

Many Iranian students, researchers, and professionals in the U.S. came here legally, have undergone extensive background checks, and have built their lives through hard work. They do not support the regime, in fact, many left Iran because they oppose it.

Broad policies that impact all Iranians risk unfairly affecting those who contribute to American science, healthcare, and innovation every day.

We hope future policies can remain targeted, addressing real security concerns, while protecting law-abiding individuals who share American values.

بین مهاجرهای ایرانی،
اونایی که ساکن #امریکا هستن یه جور متفاوتی درگیر‌ جنگ هستن.
۱ ) کشوری که بهش مهاجرت کردن، به وطن‌شون حمله‌کرده و کلی احساسات متناقض دارن.
۲)روزمره نصف آمریکایی‌های اطرافشون تو محل کار، فروشگاه، جمع دوستان و... نقطه مخالف دیدگاهشون وایسادن و یا vocal هستن یا کاملا بی‌توجهی نشون میدن. عملا دردشون کمتر دیده میشه و به رسمیت شناخته میشه، چون طرف مقابل هم کشورش با ایران در جنگه!
۳) امریکا خطا بره (که احتمالش هست)، حسشون نسبت به کشوری که بهش مهاجرت کردن به صورت دائمی عوض میشه و با سوال "برم یه جای دیگه یا بمونم؟" روبه‌رو هستن.
۴)پروسه مهاجرتیشون رفته رو هوا. از دانشجو بگیر تا شاغل تا گرین‌کارد تا.... مجبور هستن به روش‌های مختلف بگن ما ازونا نیستیم که هیچ، از دستشون فرار هم کردیم. مارو تنبیه نکنین.
خلاصه با دیاسپورای مقیم امریکا بحث نکنین، اعصابش نمی‌کشه، انتقامش از ج.ا رو از شما میگیره.
