Have you seen the letter?

Not directly, but he said it was similar to the verbiage of the Executive Order and the letter said it was “due to increased security concerns.” Maybe there are other factors that I’m unaware of, but based on everything I’ve researched I’m really confused. I’ve been unable to find anything directly from a government source that says current immigrant visa holders are okay, although I’ve seen that in news articles. Just hoping to see if anyone else in the US is experiencing something similar and may know a solution

I saw the issuance
But OP mentioned that interview was before the ban so that should not have been affected.
My question was anything after the ban. Thank you tho

I could be wrong, but I disagree.  The ban impacts the issuance of visas, not the approval of visas.  The "approval" you get after an interview doesn't really mean anything, it's all about when the visa is put into your passport.

 

I've been following this closely and every sign points to K-1's not being impacted, the fact that somebody got a K-1 visa issued this week from Nigeria confirms it in my mind.  I hope that continues to be true.

I concur that issuance is the key
But to me, I can't use that as my test case since the case was in the system prior to the ban- tho what you said might be correct as well.

I more want to see someone go to interview after ban, get approved AND issued. That will confirm the K-1 situation.
We hope for the best

Tho I believe someone already brought up this issue
if one comes to the U.S. on a K-1 visa, would they still be eligible for AOS? Or would they be disqualified... so many questions.

The travel ban does not affect Adjustment of Status.....

There is a difference between USCIS functions and DOS functions.....

Nobody is going to issue a statement about something that is not possible, now all sort of other things are possible but not this.

@Angel4love My attorney pointed me to this site for help with preparing waiver packet: https://www.aila.org/infonet/applying-for-a-waiver-pursuant-to-presidential.  There is downloadable pdf...this will help you front load.  They may not collect it, but better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.  Another thing they are asking for is NIN# and one person they requested Secondary School Certificate (they put those individuals on AP until they could get the information).  They are asking for chat logs too. 

 

Thank you

Just to share what someone said today. I do not believe K1s are impacted either.

No whahala, if it is WAEC result they want, we will provide it. 

 

The most important thing is they should issue visas to us, the process is being a long time coming.

 

I pray for grace that breaks protocols over everyone of us. 🙏

 

Mr Olu, what is your daughter's status saying, AP? Or what?

@ Arewa, she is still on AP. Her case was last updated on the 25th which is the day after her interview.

My son had his interview on the 3rd of February. Both reading AP as of today.

Being in AP is so draining. Everything is at a stand still.
