Ay no le di a enviar 😅 pero ya está!

Sir, we all had travel arrangements already done, that due to Covid-19 were affected, it isn’t that we left this til last moment. My country has been shut down since beginning of March and more than 70 countries have travel ban on my country. It’s to easy to talk when you don’t know anything. I didn’t chose to have a pandemic virus affecting the whole world. 

Some of us have jobs, lives, and assets abroad, some don't. I wouldn't brag about belonging to the latter group.

Wow, how lucky for you. My fiancé is in his 50s. He has an entire life to dismantle—house to sell, job to wrap up and find a replacement for, aging mother to care for, children to spend time with before leaving. I also have children of my own to prepare for his arrival. It’s a complicated transition and we need these months to get everything situated.

Thanks for your personal view, I've seen you respond with a similar post on other threads, I'd just like to comment that your sweeping statement is also likely irrelevant to most peoples situations.
 
If your partner was in a position where she had zero financial, employment, health, real estate, children, family commitments and was able to just leave as soon as the Visa was in hand, then that's a very fortunate position to be in but an unlikely one for the most of us.
 
My visa was issued 3 months before my entry date, also leaving another 3 months validity on my K1. Im from the UK and I dont know where it's like where your partner is from, but here I have a mortgage, a job with a 1 month minimum notice period, a car, a house full of possessions, having complications due to a serious ovarian cyst that my Dr here in the UK is dealing with, pets who are being shipped and require certain vaccinations and arrangements to be made that cant be done instantly. Moving almost as soon as my visa was issued is near impossible. Without having any idea of how long the process would take or if it would be approved immediately, how would you suggest people plan around an immediate move once a visa is issued? I dont think anyone was factoring in the possibility of the world coming to a complete grinding halt.
 
If your K1 had only just been approved last week, and the next day all travel from her home country and restrictions into the US had been placed the very next day, regardless of your fiancee being in a rare position to just be waiting without any baggage or commitments, for her green light to go to the US and just drop everything in an instant you'd find yourself in the same position as many at the moment, so it wouldnt matter whether you had waited or not.
 
In these trying times, may those of us in this situation more forward with support for each other - the last thing we need is judgement and questions over why we didnt just up 'n go with visa in hand.
 
 
 
 

Every case is different, it took me around 10 months to get my k1 visa and in my case my fiancée who is an active service member is deployed overseas, so as you can probably tell I couldn’t move as soon as I got my visa that was at end of January because if not I would of never been able to get married within the 90 days 🤷🏻‍♀️

Let me know what they say to you if you don’t mind. 

If you have an answer by the embassy or consulate let me know what they say please. 

And what is supposed that we have to find there because I’ve been checking the website almost everyday to see if I can find some information and there is none .. 

Let me know what they say to you if you don’t mind. 

I think she already has a K-1 visa, and her question is - when she should use it based on the virus, the virus-related bans, her husband being deployed, and the 90-day wedding requirement.

Hi, I’d like to see if someone could help me with my concerns or if someone shares the same problem. 
I have a flight booked for May 23rd to move to the US with my K-1 visa and even if the travel restrictions don’t affect me right now the situation with the coronavirus doesn’t seems that is gonna solve any time soon in Europe (I’m from Spain) my visa expires on July 16th and I’d like to know if there is any way I could have a visa extension if I am not allowed to travel before the expiration of my visa due to Coronavirus or if not what’s the process I’d have to follow. I’ve message the embassy of my country and literally their response was “contact the airline” which makes no sense & I’m staring to freak out.
