Coronavirus Embassy closed

[90DayFinancier 910]

I don't mean to make light at the expense of the folks here but I love the title "Corona Virus Embassy closed" 

I was unaware the country of Corona Virus had an embassy here, but in light of the current circumstances, we should revoke their diplomatic credentials and send them packing! 😷😁😷

Applying for an IR-1 in London.  My March 31st interview was cancelled.  And they also said this in a general email answer to COVID-19 related questions:

 

Which strongly implies that all processing work has stopped.

Thank you for your reply. My fiance hasn't received an email from them yet, but at least we know what to expect.

The consulate in the Netherlands is also closed. Same message as everybody else. 

 

My husband and I wrote to his congressman in the US to try and get this on the agenda (not very likely, we know). Although it's understandable that non-essential visa services have been suspended, we consider the DoS request for Americans to return to the US incongruent with the suspension of family based IVs. Let alone the fact that the travel ban does not include partners and that we should therefore be able to travel into the US if it weren't for suspension of consular activity. 

 

It's a long shot, but since a lot of you will be confined to your own home anyway , you might as well give it a shot and have your American partner contact their member of congress.

No, all processing has stopped and will resume when they get back to normal, which is likely not until the virus slows down. 

 

It’s real heartbreaking, I literally sent documents to be reviewed 1 day before the announcement. Now my medical may expire, and I have no idea how long it’ll take once they resume since there could be a backlog after this.

We got no notice from NVC. There site sucks so bad. Constantly kicks you off and you have to re log in many times to get anything done. When the ask for not information. And you submit then you wait and wait to even know if you have submitted correctly. There messaging doesn't work well and hard to get the messages they do send. The whole process is disgusting.

I was at the stage were me and my fiance were literally about to get our interview date probably last week so it does really suck unfortunately we just have to wait and this adds sooooooo much more time to the K1 process our interview will be at Guyana embassy. Our interview probably would have been ending May or early June now who knows🙁

Had our CR1 interview scheduled for April 1 in Stockholm Sweden, originally they told us since my husband is a spouse of a US citizen that it was not impacted, then next day we received a cancellation email.. Hope that the virus slows down and that they are able to reschedule soon. We are already almost 14 months into this process, and just as we saw the finish line, it disappeared again..
