covid19 US/Canada Border accepting K1 visas

[Tymani 8]

Had trouble getting this info so I thought I'd share:

 

As of 4/10/2020, the Canadian/US border is accepting K1 visas at the border crossing and deeming them, "essential travel". Just got off the phone with a border agent stationed at a crossing in New York.

It is always up to the discretion of the border officer. But, at least at this specific border crossing, their immigration desk said they are accepting K1 visas as essential travel. Take what I say with a grain of salt - these are confusing and volatile times - but at least it is encouraging. Good luck.

I wish Australia would let me out as essential travel.. Well once I can get my interview anyway.

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm only confident in Canadian / US land border crossings. I can't speak to any airports...good luck!

Hey! I was just wondering where you found the number to call to directly call a border agent at the border you were crossing at?

Also, did you successfully cross over? Hope everything went well!

I'm wondering the number as well I have a few questions, one of them was if I would be able to cross with a K1 if this land border thing continues but I just found that answer here.

@Tymani do you have the number?
