Interview Date: K-1

[Kidayi 15]

Hello VJ members! 

 

As of December 2020, US embassy in Algeria have resumed limited processing of new immigrant visas, including K1/K2 fiancee visas, and are beginning with those cases scheduled and cancelled in March 2020. 

 

I'm asking and making this topic in hopes that someone here has heard back and has a date yet? I know they are probably backed up and have many cases but I'm curious if anyone here has a date yet. And if so, was your original date canceled or this will be your first interview date. 

 

 

Thanks!

This is the older information. They recently updated their site on December 13th. As quoted above. They have begun services as of December 2020. Hence why I asked if anyone has heard anything

You are correct they have started to do limited visas. I only know because my brother in law is trying to visit and I spoke with them. The main issue that is happening right now though. Is the Algeria government has shut down the airport for all of March and flights were already super limited. This sadly plays a crucial part in the issuing of visas in Algeria right now. ☹️

So there’s no hope to receive schedule time for  interview sooner 😪 we were DQ in July 2020 I was hoping to be interviewed in 2 or 3 months 😓

There's hope. They're just processing very very slowly and limited. But with the shut down happening its hard to say.

There is always hope something will happen. I don’t want you to be discouraged. They are moving soo slow and I’m not sure how much they will get done in March due to the Algerian government is shutting everything down again inshallah everything will begin to open again. Algeria can’t stay closed forever.
