I never said the ban made sense. You’re the one who keeps posting saying Biden is not going to do anything about it. I have said all along I think he will overturn it.  I just think that to expect Bid

Sorry for asking the same question but I have read through the post replies and I am confused as some say the proclamation is going to continue until the president terminates it and then others say it's not the same proclamation that we're referring to and that it has not been extended past Dec 31 2020 which is when he last extended it to. 

 

I just need to know if the proclamation that affects Family visas (and other visas) that was set to expire Dec 31 2020 has been extended at all. Or if that is lifted after tonight. 

 

We are an F3 visa and had our interview scheduled this past March and had our interview canceled 5 days before it cause of this. We are hoping it is lifted so we can have our interview rescheduled. 

 

Can anyone provide a clear answer on whether this has been extended past Dec 31 2020 yet or if it's going to lapse and be lifted?

 

Thank you! 

Also F3, awaiting interview date in Montreal

Yes I’m assuming we’d have to get all that done again. And ap is short for administrative processing.

Oh ok. Wow it takes that long for them to process if you miss documents? Or is that now cause of the pandemic pausing everything? Did you get your medical redone yet?

Yes, you will have to redo them. They will inform you of what needs to be redone when they are ready to interview /issue. (Medicals have a shorter expiry than police checks.) No point telling you to do it now when they don’t know when they can interview you and new ones might just expire again. Your visa validity is based on your medical expiry so it also doesn’t make sense to do your medical too soon anyway.

 

 

I have just seen one public radio news report that the ban has been extended to 31 March. Haven’t picked up anything else 

 

 

Ok that's what I assumed as I know your visa and medical expiry dates kind of go together so they need to be recent. So much money wasted for nothing (there are 4 of us that had to get medicals done. Not cheap!) and the place we had to get medicals done is 3 hours drive one way for us. 😔

Did you have an interview already booked and canceled too after the pandemic? We are waiting for Montreal too.

Did you not see what I was responding to?

and maybe you forget that a new president can overturn an EO as easily as the old one can implement it. Easier actually as it just needs one sentence.

I read that Trump extended the proclamation for some work visas till march 2020. As per this article. But looks like it's only for work visas so far?

 

Any word on extending the proclamation for family visas yet? We're F3 so hoping he doesn't extend that.

Does this new extension apply to F3 visas?

Which extension? I am F3 also. Our interview was canceled last March 5 days before it so I'm hoping that proclamation doesn't get extended. 

 

I've only read of this one for some work visas being extended so far.
