    Yes, it means consulates cannot use travel bans as an excuse to not issue K-1 visas. That’s really great news, I hope all of those waiting for so long can finally get their visas in the near future.

    K-1 visa applicants have not been receiving interviews for the regional travel ban countries since March 2020 (with the exception of the lawsuit plaintiffs), with the presidential proclamations being the reason given.
     
    However, this update was released today:
    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/updates-to-national-interest-exceptions-for-regional-covid-proclamations.html
     
    Am I understanding this correctly? Does this mean K-1 visa holders are now exempt from the regional travel bans? Meaning interviews for K-1 visas can resume, if the embassy is open?

    Our embassy has not been processing k-1 visas since March, and since Portugal is part of Schengen, travel would not be permitted even if they were. We have not seen each other since March, so the fact being married would give us the ability to see one another despite the travel bans gives me a lot of comfort. 
     
    The only fee we've paid so far is the $535 filing fee, and I think the CR-1 will make up for it in that he will be able to work much sooner than with the K-1. This was always the case, but we initially chose a quicker timeline over convenience -- now it seems like we're going to be waiting for quite a while regardless.
     
    Switching to the CR-1 is sounding more and more appealing, so we're working on applying for a marriage license ASAP. Thanks!
