That wont work. I applied for my now husband’s k1 visa in may 2020. My husband was living in Guangzhou,China as a student for over 5 years. My husband is african and experienced racism and mandatory quarantines, denied to enter restaurants to buy food simply for being black and this was broadcasted all over international news. African students were being kicked out of their apartments because Chinese people accused them of being the cause of covid. I had evidence of them forcing students into hotels for quarantine with the police outside the hotels and they were only giving them 1 gallon of water to share for the day. The ambassadors from many african countries had to intervene. I sent all of this to USCIS and they said it was not a cause to expedite. I just had to wait and pray he was safe.
