k1 for Travel ban country (Venezuela) DEC 2019

[Titoblackspecv 1]

Hello good morning I wanted to ask a question

 

My fiancée is from Venezuela but lives in Colombia with a two year permission only. I want to submit the k1 paperwork with a lawyer but a bunch of lawyers keep telling me that there is a travel ban from President Trumps law. One lawyer even told me that there is a 5% chance she can get accepted as a k1. Some lawyers don't even call me back. My question is do you know anyone that has had a recent case after President Trump's law that have either been rejected or approved with a k1 visa? Thank you and God Bless!! I really need help. My fiancée and I are really depressed because everything seems so difficult and almost impossible. PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

 

Hola Buenos dias. Queria preguntarle algo. 

Mi comprometida es de Venezuela pero vive en Colombia solo con permiso. Yo quiero meter los papeles igual a ustedes del k1 visa. Varios abogados me dicen que pueda que la niegen por el travel ban osea Venezuela esta en una lista negra de Estados Unidos. Han escuchados otros casos recientes de que los acepten a los Venezolanos o los niegan?

I'm not certain, but I believe only certain "officials" and their families from Venezuela are currently banned, and not regular citizens. 

 

You can search on here and find the message board for Venezuela and gather more information there.

 

You may also want to consider getting married and filing a spousal visa vs. the fiance visa as there are a few more benefits to that, especially if you are worried about encountering any issues due to where your fiance is from.

 

Good luck!

Yeah that's not how that works for people from Venezuela at all. The travel ban is only for certain people in the Maduro regime and not the ordinary people

But the new order bars only a handful of Venezuelan government officials and their families, including officials involved in "screening and vetting procedures" at Venezuela's Ministry of the Popular Power for Interior, Justice and Peace; the Administrative Service of Identification, Migration and Immigration and other agencies.

As long as your fiancé did not work for the government then you should be fine.
