Hi there, that’s fantastic news!! Congratulations!! I am so happy for you!!  
I wanted to find out what your fiancés situation was?  I am a K1 Fiancé VISA holder and I was supposed to be flying out on 1st April. It’s dawning upon me that I may not be able to fly at all until further notice.    Was he coming from one of the countries with the ban?  I would be flying from the UK.  What advice would you give?

The skies are still open from the UK but things may change tomorrow or next week.  I would get on a plane asap and not wait

Are you sure? It seems to only be allowing essential travel, and our circumstances don't fall into the category. They seem to only be accepting US citizens.

My fiance didnt come from a country with a ban. He came from Mexico. I highly recommend waiting if at all possible because it may not even be possible to get married right now depending on where you're going. I was able to find just one judge in my county that is willing to do the ceremony but it is scheduled for 2 weeks out. And she wont allow any guests. I'm anticipating that it will be cancelled.

Just curious, what are the people who have  recently gotten their k1 visas doing that haven’t immigrated to America yet, but aren’t from a level 3 country? Are you coming now? Waiting till things calm down? We weren’t planning on him moving until May (We have our reasons). We don’t know if it’s smart for him to fly now (from Australia) or stick to our original May plan. I would think things would be under control by then, but would hate for Australia to become level 3 country as they are getting more covid19 cases. Both independent contractors. I’m now not working and he is about to lose his job as well. Really at a loss of what to do. Would love to hear what other people with the same immigration timeline as us are doing. 

I'm going to America on March 25. I'm worrying about this too hopefully they will not shutdown the borders and airports there. Cause now many airlines was canceled the trip to America! I'm so confused.

I called and spoke with CBP about Trump's restrictions on entry from EU and as long as Visa was issued before the ban took place it won't affect entry into the United States although you would be screened upon arrival for Covid-19 and may be quarantined if they believe necessary from results of screening. Unfortunately for us the borders of the country she was going to leave were closed and citizens barred from leaving. Trying to wait it out with very little substantial indications for when restrictions may be lifted. Rollercoaster keeps on rolling.

If you are CR1 you can still enter the US.   Getting there is the challenge.

I booked my flight for April 17th (Amsterdam-Oslo-SFO) and I’m from Germany. My visa was issued on March 6th. Does that mean I’d be allowed in? I’m just scared they’d deny my entry... but it seems I don’t have another choice, since I already cancelled my job and I won’t have anywhere to live anymore after April...

Yes I got my cr1 but mru is lock down. 

The visa is valid for 5 months only and am scared they close the frontiers for longer periods. There's no flight from Mru
