I don't want to end up with an RFE like many do for sending too much evidence!  We are getting ready to file hopefully in the next week. I (US citizen) am sponsoring my Danish husband, for reference. Evidence pieces are bolded. What we have:

Can you really get an RFE for too much information?

I am trying to understand what the cutoff date means.

Can someone read the latest update for Embassy in London? I think its good news....

The U. S . Govt can use covid for an excuse for practically everything. Why can we?

Thank you for the suggestion! I just sent an email.

Sorry if I missed it, but what will his plans do for K-1 Visas and when will the travel ban be lifted? I feel like K-1 is the forgotten visa.

The London embassy started to schedule interviews for a few plaintiffs yesterday, yet when I contacted them (I’m also a plaintiff) they told me that I would have to wait for routine processing to resume, and that I should check the travel state website, even though the travel state tells me to contact the embassy to schedule an interview.

This is an absolute disgrace! What is the real problem? Have they laid too many people off?  K-1 visa recipients can't work right away. International flights land in various U.S airports every day. There shouldn't be any excuse. 😞

You lost me on that. What do you mean? I didn’t get the joke.

We may have better results if he swims from Mexico to Texas.

Nothing new or hinted on K1s. I wouldn’t cling to hope that Biden is going to prioritize fiancés shortly after inauguration.  Covid, the economy, jobs and such, are bigger issues affecting more Americans.

It will be more about Illegal Immigration. I am about to tell my fiance I will meet him in Texas with a towel. My comments are a combination of humor and frustration. I hope they will be taken that way.

@LindaStewart My interview was last day of Feb, then towards end of March the pandemic worsened, but still they had four weeks to ask for my SAR and didn't but they did phone ACRO to confirm what i told them five days after my interview, so I don't know why they would leave it that long, I even got my SAR two weeks AFTER the interview so I have had it all this time,  but obviously the embassy's stopped doing visa processingK1 anyway, so we were left on the pile I guess for months.

Soon as services resumed they wanted to clear the backlog as quick as possible is my opinion, they got my sar last Monday I was refused by the Tuesday

My fiance got his ACRO and SAR at the end of February. I guess they have expired  by now.  Will you be able to deal directly with the embassy?

UPDATE- Well guys guess my gut feeling was right, I was refused under the 212(a) act, basically them two cautions, however I am eligible to apply for a waiver, just means this is going to go on even longer and the appeal form is $930 alone that's without a lawyer on top which I think is wise in this case, absolutely gutted, so if anyone has any helpful tips on appealing this would be appreciated. 

Thanks for the Info and advice. 

I am so sorry to hear that.  😞 Why would they wait this far along in the process to decide this is a problem? Was this information included somewhere in the application? Why did they keep your passport so long?  I hope someone has some good suggestions for you.

I can identify with your situation and understand. I think the hold for London is partly based on the fact that travel directly from the UK to the US is still banned. Have you thought about meeting up for a two week vacation in Mexico then he coming to the US to spend up to 90 days with you. 

Thank  you! For the first time in a long time I felt like I had an option. I also found my lost optimism.

London has not resumed K1 processing. Current information is on their website and is updated when things change 
https://uk.usembassy.gov/information-for-nonimmigrant-visa-applicants-following-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak/#faq03
 

You are correct that K1s cannot work in the US until their EAD or AOS application is approved.

I appreciate the link.  I guess my frustration is that  of many. These vague answers are really maddening. My fiance is 67, and he does not need to work when he gets here. I am 56, and I guess time feels like it is ticking faster for me.  

I thought K1 were supposed to start being processed again.  From what I understand a K1 visa recipient wont be able to work for quite a while. Correct me if I am wrong.

I am waiting for London. Do you contact the Embassy? I called NVC and got my case and invoice number.  

I don't want to get political, BUT we are all trying to do things the right way. We are not trying to circumvent the rules. Its not like the  President wasn't married to 2 foreigners. Its not like we are going to flood the workforce.  We have been either forgotten or ignored. I have a lawyer, but she says she doesn't want to make too much noise and anger someone. A wise man once said it takes as long as it takes. Thanks all the comments and support. 🙂

Does anyone how soon you can get an appointment for a medical in London?

I gave up on things making sense. 

I called NVC at 7 AM. From start to finish the call lasted 8 minutes. I received my NOA2 on June 19th. I was able to get my case number and Invoice ID. She said they received it  on July 17th, so they may still be putting it in the system. 🙂

Thank you! I will go back and fill it in again. I thought I filled it out already.

You need to wait about 5 weeks and call NVC

I got mine June 19th,. I emailed State department per instructions. I never got an email response or a letter.
