I am so worried, my husband's interview is next week ,I dont know if I should postpone it for now.am scared of the outcome.

I don’t know how the spousal application works. Doesn’t your petition have an expiry date. The K1 petition has one and you have to have an interview before it expires. I think you should go ahead with your interview you’re one step closer to receiving a visa either through a waiver or when the ban is lifted.

My family will be having our interview on Monday and I will leave you to guess how we feel right now. But the question I really wanted to ask is this, I called the Embassy customer care lines at least twice since the ban was announced on the 31st and both times they said we shouldn't worry and that we should just attend our interviews yada yada yada. I wonder if it makes any sense it makes to continue to string people along or 'manage' people that have spent so much time and resources over a process that exists by law and which just got torpedoed over a whim?

I agree that attending the interview is the best course at this time. No interview = no visa. Interview = possibility for a waiver at least.

So what happens to all the money spent if this happens? Also will there be legal grounds for redress?

No refunds. Unfortunately, the fees only cover the costs to get a decision, not to get a favorable one.

Somebody could challenge it, but I highly doubt there will be success given that SCOTUS already ruled on the former one and upheld it.

I-130s do not expire like an I-129F.

They can be sent back to NVC after so long, then the NRC, then destroyed.

Hi guys, I'm new on this thread. My family will be having our interview on Monday and I will leave you to guess how we feel right now.

Forgive me for this, but I'm really finding it difficult to wrap my head around that. So what happens to all the money spent if this happens? Also will there be legal grounds for redress or compensation? Sorry if this sounds extreme but shouldn't we also think ahead of the curb? #JustAsking

Trust me I understand how you feel!!! There will be no compensation because they feel they have a solution which is the waiver or till the ban is lifted. It’s a nightmare that could add several months or a year to this waiting game.

I can imagine how you feel right now. It's so sad and frustrating this is happening after years of waiting. I wish you and your family all the best at your interview on Monday. Pls keep us posted on how it goes.

You ain't alone on this thought. Mine is next week and I'm already feeling hopeless. I honestly dont know what to say or do. My Hubby has his parents also in the state that he cares for. My mom is also there stranded with no major help. My citizen daughter was hoping to start enjoying the American dream and we live as one big family. Doctors are arguing me to quickly take in as I have Polystic ovarian cyst. Meanwhile, my hubby doesn't have a child. He has been so depressed lately.

 

This is so unkind 😭😭😭😭😭

Please go to the interview with all your hospital paperwork, doctor's notes and all. It might help with the waiver too

For those going to interview on Monday. Give it all your best, don't worry if you are going to be accepted or not. Talk as if it's your last, offer to show documents even if no one asks. Make sure you try to offer all the documents you have with you. 

 

Then for those stuck in the waiting game. The Nigerian Immigration has met with the requirements the USA wants with their new e-passport which will go into effect in march.

It does not stop the process until the beneficiary gets interviewed.  If the ban is still in effect the CO can recommend a waiver or put it in Administrative Processing.
