Hey Peter,

There was a recent immigration ban on my country of origin through an executive order.Do you know of any option to apply for a green card in this scenario?

Are you inside the U.S. in valid immigration status or outside?

inside the USA currently on stem opt.

Then that ban only applies to those applying for visas or green cards from outside the US. You still can pursue a green card in the US because you are in the US.

Really?The way it was reported says something else.I guess I need to go talk to a lawyer. Here is the link to the executive order https://www.dhs.gov/news/2020/01/31/2020-travelvisa-restrict...
