Please read my story :) I could use some sympathetic ears in addition to any advice on the port of entry question at the end.

 

Like many of you my fiancée and I find ourselves in a tough position with this global pandemic. We interviewed in December in Guyana. He’s Cuban so we had to travel to Guyana to do the interview. He had some changes on his lung xrays that meant he had to do a sputum test and return back to Cuba for a minimum of 8 weeks to await the results of the culture. We got the results, they were normal. He then had to send his passport back to Guyana via DHL, wait for the visa to be issued, the embassy in Guyana issued the visa and sent it back last Monday 3/16. 

His passport with the visa is now in Panama and has been “on hold” since last Wednesday. They are still estimating it will arrive next Wednesday. But we have no idea if it really will. And, this week Cuba has announced entry restrictions which will mean than flights out will become more and more difficult to find. So for now, we wait and hope. 
 

What I’m unclear on is whether there are any current issues with entry. So I’m wondering whether anyone here has the US with a K1 since the US started making travel restrictions. What was the POE like? Any issues? Also are there any restrictions in place at this point for people entering the US with various types of visas if they travel from non-restricted countries?

 

thanks for any sympathy/help/advice.

 

Sharing all the love, light and hope i have with you in this crazy time.

you can land as long as flights are departing and he does not transit through countries that are banned from entry. Right  now it includes Mexico, Canada, Schengen,China. The question is if US goes lockdown which can happen any moment, you are out of luck. 

duh
