Has anyone traveled internationally from the UK?

[Anne H 0]

Hello! My fiancé lives in the UK, and we are waiting for him to get an appointment for his visa interview. We would like to meet in Mexico, but the UK has international travel restrictions for their citizens. They aren’t supposed to travel internationally unless they have a legal reason to do so. I’m wondering if anyone out there from the UK has traveled internationally since the most recently imposed lockdown. Please let me know if you have heard anything. Thanks in advance!

Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to UK regional forum.

I’m also looking at flying to Mexico, I don’t have an answer to your lockdown question but one thing I realised while looking at flights is that most of them layover in places such as Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Since we’ve now left the EU, UK citizens are barred from these countries but I’m not sure if it applies if we’re just transiting through the airport. I can’t find an answer to that, have you guys thought about that?

I think transiting through an EU country from the UK is still ok. This is all we could find on it though.

Where’s your timeline? When is your interview?

His application was approved by USCIS and is currently at the NVC waiting to be forwarded to the embassy in London.

And you know London suspended K1 interviews like 10 months ago so there is a huge backlog. Travel restrictions may be very different by the time you get your visa. Or were you just trying to get a visit in in a third country?

Yes, I am aware of the suspension of visa processing in the UK. We’d like to meet in Mexico, but I know the UK has travel restrictions in place for their citizens at this time. I wanted to see if anyone has traveled out of the UK recently (after the most recent restrictions were put in place) or if they had issues trying to fly internationally. Thanks

Here are the rules for the current lockdown. Bear in mind each UK country has different rules so check the applicable ones:

If you are asking if anyone is checking at the airport so you can break the rules I dont think that should be answered in this forum.
