Is your K1 Beneficiary (fiance) from Venezuela?

[JJ89 13]

Hey everyone!

 

Just thought I'd share some info. I realize the crumbling situation taking place in Venezuela right now is only progressing and that many people have to leave. You fiance may be a part of that group.  They may also be going to a country in South America such as Ecuador, Colombia, or Peru. Right now, i'm in the same situation. My fiance is from Venezuela and we are living together in Ecuador.  You may also be worried about whether they can change the consulate to another one. You can change once the application hits the NVC. From there this is an average additional two months waiting time. Now if you are yet to send out the application, then you can put another country down . As far as im aware they will only be allowed entrance if they have  residency for the country that is chosen.. Well here is the good news. Ecuador has a temporary residency visa called MERCOSUR for Venezuela nationals. It is relatively quick to get.  This allows a stay of two years and gives permission to work in Ecuador. This would give your fiance permission to enter the embassy since they are classified as residents in Ecuador. If you have any questions ask away. Take care. 

 

P.S. 

If your fiance does not work for the government in Venezuea, then the travel ban DOES NOT APPLY TO HIM OR HER

Is it possible to move this back to the K1 section? It is more K1 visa relevant and more people will see it. Thank you. Take care
