I wrote to the US Embassy in Sweden on November 12, 2020. They wrote back that, "We are currently scheduling IR1/CR1 cases from the National Visa Center that were documentary qualified for an interview in July 2020." 

I asked them as well in October they wrote me back that they working on July, so I dont know... but you can see - apparently people who were dq'ed in september getting their appointments now.

so fingers crossed they are further than july 🤞🏼

Ok, well please update! 🤞🏼 
i hope it goes fast ! 

Funny enough we just got an email... But unfortunately it wasn't really what we were expecting. It actually said "Immigration appointment cancelled" - but we hadn't even gotten an interview booked in the first place? 
Now we're super confused and a bit more nervous than before. 

 

Has this happened to anyone else? What does it mean?

I saw elsewhere on the forum that some people from the Schengen area have had success in having their K1 transferred to and processed at their embassy after contacting them and stating intent of quarantining in a country that is not subject to the presidential proclamations. Has anyone here attempted this?

Yup, this means that you will probably get your appointment Monday or Tuesday next week. The next mail you'll receive will say that your cases has been expedited, and then you'll receive your appointment.

Me and my fiancé tried to ask them about this last week, and the answer was no. They only process if you're an exemption to the travel ban OR a plaintiff in the lawsuit. We're now going to join the lawsuit.

Thank you. I will talk to my partner about maybe joining as well. It's short notice, but I think it's probably worth it the cost if it means that we get to be together that much sooner. Especially considering the time it takes to get a working permit once there.

Yeah, and for us we just felt too that the risk of missing out when we could have afforded it would be worse than having "lost" the money if something would happen soon anyway. We'll just have to do the best we can with the information we have right now. ❤️

 

Just remember that tomorrow (at 8 p.m. EST, I think) is the deadline if you do decide to join.

I think you just need to send an email that you confirming the appointment. Maybe Simon can relate?

I got a date very soon after the e-mail, so they asked me to confirm the appointment before the end of that same day. Don't know if others tried this.

I had my interview on Friday and it was truly a breeze. The people at the embassy were very nice and polite and there were no issues with the visa whatsoever. Only three other people were there, whole thing took less than an hour. Very satisfied😁

Congrats!

 

Although I suppose the real question would be if you made it on time to your driving lesson after all
