US Immigration from Kuwait

My girlfriend lives in Kuwait but is not a national of Kuwait. She is a national of Australia and holds an Australian passport.

Does she need a B2 visa or can she use the ESTA program?

Hello!

My girlfriend and I were going to apply for the K1 visa but with the new ban list we have some concerns.

Right now she lives in Kuwait with her mother and is finishing college but she is a citizen of Australia where her dad lives.

When they say they are not processing visas from those banned countries, do we know if that means only nationals from those countries or those who are applying from those countries as well? Does it help she is from Australia? I wasn't sure if me trying to sponsor her while she actively lived in Kuwait but not a national of Kuwait mattered or not.

How should we approach this?

So I applied for my N-400. I am a visa overstay when I got married to USC. Is it going to be a problem ?

Th k1 interview average waiting time.

Arrived 15 mins before interview time - completed my security check - checked in with front desk and waited for my turn to be called.

In 10 mins, the USCIS immig officer opened the door and called my name, and took me back to her office. She was very kind and understanding, I did not feel stressed at all.

She requested my state ID and greencard. and started to explain how the process is going to be.

After verifying my name - she began with Civics questions:

1. Two departments of govt

2. Speaker of the house

3. Right of anyone living in US

4. Name of US president

5. Statue of Liberty in?

6. What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?

7. In what month do we vote for President? 8)What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?

8. What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?

9. What is the capital of the United States?

Got 9/10.

Reading - where is the white house located?

writing - The White house is located in Washington DC

After the interview- Got the response - decision can t be made. (Some get approved right after the interview- mine wasn t- I got a paper that said decision can t be made now- and they will contact in the coming days with the decision. I was approved in 32 days.- I believe it was because my immigration officer needed supervisor approval)
