You all are assuming he will be admitted to the US. What makes everyone so sure of that?  

Yep, he very well might not be admitted. And if he is, they won't be able to get married for quite a while. Such a great honeymoon - being quarantined together in a country that's new to one of the two spouses and let's make the homesickness and culture shock even worse by not being allowed to do anything but stay at home.

Just another update. I emailed the Foreign & Commonwealth Office as advised by the UK.gov support.  This is what they responded with:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


If you are travelling or live overseas and are concerned about the global coronavirus pandemic, please read our coronavirus guidance and country-specific travel advice on WWW.GOV.UK.

Read our Coronavirus travel guidance:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-advice-novel-coronavirus

Check advice for your destination:

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

You can register for updates on these pages.

We strongly suggest you use our FCO and Embassy social media pages, (Facebook and Twitter) as well for updates and further information, in some cases this can include information about flight and other transport options. They are platforms for you to ask questions.

All FCO travel advice is published on GOV.UK, there is no additional information our consular officers can provide in response to your enquiry.

Due to this pandemic, all foreign travel is subject to severe disruption and should be carefully planned.

Before travelling, you should assess the level of possible disruption you are willing and able to endure.

If you are abroad, you must follow the advice of local authorities and anticipate possible changes to your travel plans, including travelling via indirect routes to reach your final destination. You must be ready to comply with local isolation or quarantine requirements, and will need to rely on the local health system.

Following is a link to our website that explains what Consular services we are able to provide in our 'Support for British Nationals Abroad: A guide':

If you feel that you require consular support in line with this guide, please call your nearest consulate or embassy:

This final link covers UK government advice on coronavirus:

So again, not very useful. Looks like no one knows what happens with k1s. But basically, to quote them
there is no additional information our consular officers can provide in response to your enquiry.
