I have seen multiple members receive responses over the last month or so.

Yeah, same old robotic non-response response for every damn query: "We are closed for routine processing due to COVID and do not know when we will open. Please monitor our website. "

Not all of them.

I am waiting for London. Do you contact the Embassy? I called NVC and got my case and invoice number.

Contacted last night. Same scripted reply this morning. "We are only processing spouses and minor children... taking K1s seriously... do not know when processing will resume. "

Im in contact with alot of them each month.  They have not been responsive compared to other countries diplomatic postz.  Of course, not all of them.  How many are there?  300+ Embassies and Consulates.  Being involved with this type of work for the last 25+ years with all kinds of foreign governments, the US Embassies tend to be the worst and its even more magnified now.

Cruelty is the purpose.

I don't think we are important enough for their motive to be a deliberate attack on our personal lives.  Someone, somewhere is making money or gaining influence through this.

Not personally no, as people trying to move through the immigration system, we definitely are. Miller's views on immigration are problematic, to say the least.

 

I disagree that it's about money, if it was they would've started processing people months ago to collect fees and would've lifted the bans to help airlines. Influence goes back to the immigration thing and what's that done for them in previous campaigns. But then we're also back to cruelty. It can be both.

I hope that this will help K1's. I really do. We've waited so long already. It's worth the wait, but at the same time it's heartbreaking because it shouldn't have to be this way. We just want to be with the person we love. ❤️

 

I don't know too much about the lawsuit, but do we have any timeline as to when we could see positive results? I had my medical and interview back in March, so I'm just waiting for my visa to be issued which it hasn't because they're blaming the travel ban. So all I need is that they will issue the visa... I know they'll most likely ask me to redo the medical, but I'm just hoping this will go quickly... We haven't seen each other for 13 months. If the lawsuit goes well, do you guys think that maybe I could be with my fiancé before the year is over? 😇 I mean, even if they take the plaintiffs first, I've already had my interview, so...😇

No real set timeline, it's still just a lawsuit and no one can predict the future, but I'm sure that you'll hear from people as they're starting to get processed as a result from this.

Bottom line is Embassies are processing plenty of non-immigrant visas, but very few immigrant visas.  That's it.  Now we need to know how they have the authority to do that.

Maybe after Trump is voted out of the office, we won't even need these lawsuits.

What does this mean? What will happen on October 22nd? Will we (hopefully) get good news or is there more happening after that since it says preliminary injuction hearing? 😇

A preliminary injunction restrains a party from taking certain actions during the pendency of the case, before a trial can be held.

So is there any timeline now that this has gotten started as to when a decision will actually be made? Or will that be decided on October 22nd? ☺️
