Dear Applicant,

In response to significant worldwide challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of State has temporarily suspended routine visa services at all U.S. Embassies and Consulates.The Embassy in Dakar has canceled all routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments through August, 2020, but will continue to provide emergency and mission-critical visa services as resources and local conditions allow. We will resume routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time. Please see these notices which contain detailed information about the current status of visa services worldwide and visa restrictions related to the COVID-19 global pandemic: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/covid-19-visa-services-and-restrictions.html

I signed up for an interview for Sept 17 but I'm not too optimistic. The land borders didn't open for Tabaski, and I doubt the embassy would open immediately after the borders anyway. I also suspect it'll be just spousal visas to start, like in most other countries. But I was able to register and I will not be surprised when it gets cancelled again.

 

How's China looking?

Their covid cases have been going down these past couple of days too but because the land borders are still closed, I’m not too optimistic that they’ll reopen.

We’ve given up on China. My fiancé is still there but we are waiting for the embassy in Dakar to reopen, then he’ll fly back there do his interview. The embassies in China are only doing spousal interviews..they’ve been opened to spousal interviews since early July. Taiwan is the only place I know doing K1 interviews right now. Until the travel ban is lifted against China, which won’t be until we get a new president, K1s won’t get interviews in China. Maybe I can try to schedule an appointment in Dakar also?

Yeah might as well get in line! 😄 

Man that's tough though. At least for the time being Sénégal doesn't have a travel ban in either direction.

Haha right. So I need to fill out the DS-160 and then created an account on ais for Senegal and then schedule the appointment? It’s a different procedure for China so i’m not sure. I think I’ll just schedule an appointment for like October for November just to be safe haha

Yeah should be, but you have to pay the fee at ecobank before you can schedule. Unless there's some kind of waiver since you probably paid in China.
