Is that a good news?

 

“Effective August 28, as it becomes safe to resume more consular operations at each U.S. mission, posts are authorized to give K visa cases high priority.  Applicants should check the website of their nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for updates on what services that post is currently able to offer. The I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) is typically valid for four months; however, consular officers may revalidate the I-129F petition in four month increments.  For most cases impacted by the suspension of routine visa services or COVID-19 travel restrictions it will not be necessary to file a new I-129F petition.”

Not for China. Already asked the consulate yesterday and said they won't process visas until the travel ban is lifted

I was afraid that might be the case, just once I would like to catch a break. 😠

Finally received an email from NVC, says NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy in GUANGZHOU.

SAME! Our case was approved Sept 2020, just received an email from NVC stating case has been sent to Guangzhou Consulate and CEAC updated to "Ready" on April 5. Does that mean the consulate is resuming routine visa services? (not plaintiff in the Milligan case nor expedited our case)
