That verified Twitter account has responded at least 100 times that K1 visas aren't affected when they announced on July 15th the phased resumption of visa services.

But this is about how embassies are still not processing after July 15 update! 

Do you guys know that one scene from the office, where half the office is working miserably while Robert California took the other half out for fun? And then Kelly screams "I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE!" And cries every once in a while? And no one says anything cause they are all miserable and they just continue their work? 

I feel like that these days :((((

For this simple reason; a fiancé is not a spouse- that is why this may most likely be an exercise in futility.

Fiance is classified immediate family in embassy websites no??

It's truly better if you think of it as an "immigration adventure".....it may take a while....keep strong and keep the love and faith....

Amen to that 💖💖😭😭🌟🌟🌟

Must feel cool like youre an astronaut 😁 i wouldnt mind at all. Covid 19 is serious 

Yes im already doing this! Thanks for the tips 🧡🧡🧡

Hello, i just put information on our timeline when i remembered that we had our interview scheduled back in February 23rd by the embassy, but i missed it because the embassy never notified me nor my lawyer of the interview date. We only found out after our lawyer had a state senator contact NVC which was too late by a week or so  then the pandemic happened. 

this makes me a little bit angry. But im wondering if this has happened with anyone else too?

Since K1s are not exempted in the PP, even though my particular Embassy (Cairo) cancelled all interviews through 9/30/2020, I don't think we (K1) will have an interview until after the first of the year.  

Thank god its august but time cannot pass by fast enough 🥺🥺🥺

I know you feel like you are forgotten. And I applaud you for trying to take action for the K1 action.

 

Here is the reason I think the K1 will be a difficult category to make mission critical. It is because it is too reliant on the marriage taking place. For example, what if the immigrant comes here and they decide that they don't want to get married after all? We have seen that scenario many times here. If an immigrant gets a visa and problems in the relationship occurs before they get married, they have no path to becoming a resident. And another issue we see on here with the K1 is the AOS. Many times we see the immigrant come to the US and get married but do not AOS because they do not have the money to do so. And even though they satisfied the 90 marriage requirement, they are still not a legal resident until they file AOS.

 

The K1 is classified as a nonimmigrant visa because technically, the beneficiary does not have legal resident status when they enter the US. They only have an authorization of stay for 90 days. And anything can happen in those 90 days. By contrast, with the spousal visa, they immigrant becomes a permanent resident the day they step foot in the US. So it is automatic and does not rely on a ceremony or adjustment to take place.

 

I hope this helps explain why the spousal visa has higher priority than the fiance visa. Too many things can happen that keeps the immigrant from becoming a LPR. So the risk would be higher especially with COVID going on and the possibility of another shut down (which may prevent the fiance from doing things like getting married and getting a job).  

 

I think the K1 processing will return to normal soon enough, though.

Thank you so much. This was a very informative and thorough answer. 

Lots of us K1ers are in so much mental pain for being in suspense so much. I wish the officials would give us some clarity. That would give us some hope or it will let us know if we need to make changes and switch to spousal visas in order to be together sooner. 

Thank you again. We'd definitely appreciate any signatures we get 💖

It truly doesnt make any sense! Most if not all of us doing the K1 would already be married but the visa process takes so long. At this point I wonder if doing the spousal visa from the start would have been more worth it =/

I feel the same way. We did fiance because we'd end up together faster but now spousal visas are going first. I feel the universe is mocking us sigh

Hi everyone, im new here. 

I feel blue and dont wanna indulge in anything after 5 long days of being surrounded by people and zero me time. I miss my fiance so much too

thats all..i think..thanks

I am not quite sure why they are not making K1 Visas Mission Critical. As American Citizens, we have gone about this the correct and legal way. Our needs are very important. We should keep pushing this issue.

 

Thanks for the update.

Very true. My fiance has spent thousands of dollars on fees for this application, with all that money given, we shouldnt be ignored

today US k1ers over twitter are arranging to call their state reps and voice their concerns to make k1 mission critical, here is the link if you guys would like give them a call too: https://t.co/ziuI8k5M1b?amp=1

I got this reply regarding K-1 visas. It seems they only focus on mission critical visas so we gotta make them make k1 mission critical.

Hi guys, please sign to make K1 mission critical.
