I’m really confused about this travel ban on European flights. It’s like everyday we wake up there’s one new development in the world 😤😤 does this mean i can’t travel with airfrance from naija via Paris to the US?  

No you cannot. The ban is only for 30days and does not allow foreign nationals into the US from any European country other than the UK. It’s just to curtail the spread of Covid-19 in the US

Oh yes you did, I will continue checking. It is currently showing Administrative processing. Thanks for the support and advise 

My fiancée had his K1 interview last yr and was told he was approved and it would be printed. It was also under admin processing and then we got an email saying they’re going to revoke it 2wks after the interview. I don’t trust these CO’s. I would say check everyday and send emails till you get it.

I'm confused bec k1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa so how does it effect us? 

It still affects you because you’re coming to get married and live in the US which Trump doesn’t want hence the ban. Only tourist visas can get approved 

So would this ban affect those who are yet to file and those who already filed as well?

The last action USCIS took on it was approval, and it was not withdrawn, correct? If so, then "approved" applies.

Yes the last action was approved and it was never withdrawn

I have seen a NOID for an I-129F before. Usually they RFE or deny, but it can happen.

 

Note the difference between a NOID and NOIR:

NOID is when they intend to deny the petition.

NOIR is when they intend to revoke the already approved petition.

For an I-129F, USCIS does not actually review a returned petition and therefore does not issue a NOIR. They will let it sit until it expires, then send a letter notifying the petitioner that it has expired.

 

This is the process to avoid a mandatory misrepresentation bar that would have occurred if the petition was returned and revoked. The intent of the law is generally viewed that having the visa refused and petition returned is due to the inability to show eligibility for the benefit being sought, whereas a misrepresentation bar is viewed as a willful, material false statement to obtain the benefit being sought (basically, a meaningful lie). The inability to prove one's case does not logically mean that one misrepresented themself in attempting to do so. But as written, a misrep bar would be put into place by doing so. So USCIS enacted the policy to let the I-129Fs expire and avoid this bar.

  You ( the royal you )  were denied a visa.  No biggie.  Through Lagos a lot of people tick that one off. 

I’m sorry, have there been a lot of denials? Plus he was told he was approved at the interview and they kept his passport but asked for a correction to be made on the AOS which we did the same day but then sent an email a week later saying because it was done after the validity period on the NOA2, they’re recommending it to be revoked

The answer is yes you have filed previously and outcome was you were denied.

But it’s also asking for the outcome with only 3choices; approved, denied or withdrawn. USCIS approved the petition but the US embassy at his country Is recommending a NOIR because the interview and AOS was done after the NOA2 validity period. Prior to the interview, they knew the only available interview date he could secure was after the validity period on the NOA2 and still encouraged him to come to the interview.

K-1 petitions do not receive NOID. They are either approved, denied, or refused. 

What if there was a NOIR, then what next

I applied for a K1 visa for my fiance (Sept 2018) and at the interview  ( July 2019) they wanted some correction to be made on the AOS which we did same day. He was also told he had been approved and kept his passport but sent an email 1wk later saying the AOS was received after the expiration of the NOA2 so they can't extend the NOA2. The email said it would be sent back to USCIS with an intent to revoke. I've called USCIS , NVC and Lagos consulate and no one has the paperwork yet. So I went ahead and got married and now in the process of filing for him again . However one of the questions on the 130 form states " Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?." and also asks what the outcome is. What do I do?

Hi everyone, 

I filed a K1 1-129F petition for my (now) hubby last year however after the interview, he was told the interview was successful but then they sent an email stating that they would send it back to USCIS because the support documents arrived late. So do i say yes or no to this question. 

@Edwin007

unfortunately i’m Going through this process now. How long did you have to wait?

My fiancé and I went through the same and he was also told to submit a few documents which he did as well and they told him he had been approved and kept his passport but sent an email 1wk later saying because it was after the expiration date, they can’t extend the expiration date. It’s a messed up process
