The Supreme Court is
allowing the hardship standard for individuals with bonafide ties to take effect while the cases in Hawaii and Maryland grind on. I'm literally trembling right now.
I'll be sending inquires to whoever I can track down at the State Department (though they *really* make it difficult to get through to anyone who knows anything) to see if I can get any information about how they will be implementing the hardship standard and to get a sense of whether their position on American K-1/CR-1 petitioners moving to Iran has changed with the adoption of this policy. I know of a few couples who are being put in a very difficult situation today. If this had struck at the wrong moment of my life, I could see myself showing up at Consulate Istanbul tomorrow morning to hand in my passport.
