Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggest, we are discussing K-3, CR-1 and IR-1 Visas; these are Marriage Visas, generally speaking. K-3s as a practical matter as we have discussed in many other videos, they get administratively closed. We don't see nearly as many K-3s as we once did, but we do see a number of CR-1 and IR-1 Immigrant Spouse Visas. 

The question posed by this video is are we likely to see changes to that process in 2025? Well, we have Trump in-coming as of January 20th and in his first term he did make a lot of changes to the Immigration process, and in the US Marriage Visa process he made some especially notable changes, most notably changes to the Affidavit of Support associated with that type of Visa, the CR-1 or IR-1. Basically, in that Administration, they increased the financial thresholds associated with sponsoring an immigrant spouse to the United States. Is it possible they could try to re-implement those changes? I think it's very possible. Is it a foregone conclusion? I don't think so. Why? Well, I'm hoping that this sort of Trump Administration 2.0 if you will, will have a different view of Immigration than they had during the first term. Most notably, I'm hoping they do more to combat illegal immigration at the border while also recognizing there are legal immigrants that want to go through the process correctly. Why are we stymieing those people? Why are we trying to cause those people a problem? I'm hoping there's some discernment in this new administration and they will hopefully see that yeah, going after people that want to go through the process legally is not the way to go. Again, Stephen Miller did a lot of things in the first term as well, kind if fire-bombed if you will the administrative apparatus associated with moving cases through the process of getting an Immigrant Spouse Visa. I mean NVC became difficult to deal with; protocols associated with Requests for Evidence at USCIS became more stringent. Is it possible these could come back? Yes. I'm hoping again the Administration has some discernment and sees that look, trying to thwart legal immigration is really not a good use of time and resources of the US Government, and probably violates due process. 

I'm hoping that they will see that and see that look enforcement at the border and having a sort of a strong hand with regard to that is a very different thing than causing problems for people who are trying to legally immigrate to the United States.
