How does travel ban affect starting a new application?

[camel_milk 0]

Hi

 

What will happen if I start a new application for a K1 visa to bring someone over from one of the countries in the travel ban? Will the application be rejected or will it be allowed to continue so long as this temporary ban is lifted?

 

Please if anyone has any knowledge regarding creating a new visa application given this travel ban 2.0 coming around, please share. Thanks!

No one knows.

I am also looking for information about this. Specifically wondering if we are able to apply for the K-1 Visa  or will it simply be denied evaluation. I read this in the travel ban:

 

"Case-by-case waivers could be appropriate in circumstances such as the following: (iv)    the foreign national seeks to enter the United States to visit or reside with a close family member (e.g., a spouse, child, or parent) who is a United States citizen, lawful permanent resident, or

alien lawfully admitted on a valid nonimmigrant visa, and the denial of entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship;"

 

Please post any new information.

It will not be processed until/delayed until the ban is lifted; giving the new administration 120 days to figure how to process applications for visa from these countries. 

 

After the 120 days past, a new legislation will likely be passed which puts the new strategy of the new administration in play.

 

To keep it short, the applications will not make any progress in the next 120 days; after the 120 days the details of the new 'laws/rules' for people applying from those countries will be shared and then applicants will have to follow the new 'laws/rules' for applications.
