Hi, I know many of us K1 applicants are stuck in limbo but was wondering if anyone could help with any answers for me. (And assure me I'm not missing something obvious regarding K1 appointments.)
I'm a UK citizen currently stuck in the UK and my Finance and daughter (both US citizens) are in the US. In Feb 2019, we sold up and shipped eveything to the US, and they've been there since. I travelled back and forth to the UK every 3 months during our K1 application process. I returned in March 2020 for the medical and interview, and we had planned to re-unite on a family trip to Ireland in July, at which point everything should have been sorted and we'd all head back to the states together. I managed to get my medical done, then lockdown hit. I've not seen them since.
I had the medical on 17 March, but have been not been able to get passed the MRV fee payment/schedule appointment stage on the website (obviously because of no appointments).
That medical is presumably invalid now, so does anyone know under what conditions it may be extended? Or will I most likley need to pay for another one? (The embassy faq is vague on this)
Also, will I need to get another Police certificate as they are only valid for a year in normal circumstances, and mine was issued 31 Jan 2020 ? (Can't find an answer, but I'm assuming it's a yes)
Has *anyone* managed to get a K1 visa in the UK since March? I notice some of you had embassy appointments that we're rescheduled through the summer.
And finally, has anyone successfully travelled to the US on an ESTA under the 'parent of US citizen' exemption to PP9996 ?
Thanks,
Al.
