When the USA is going to open borders?

[Burcin & Chris 40]

Hi everyone,

 

I and my fiance applied k1 visa on October and my case is waiting at the U.S. Embassy since 16th of March.

I did not receive any e-mail from embassy yet because the Embassy is closed due to Covid-19. I could not book my appointment yet, but i and my fiance think that i will be able to receive my visa and flight to USA by September.

 

Guys,do you think September is early to flight to U.S.A?  i am afraid that the virus is not going to be under control during that time and our waiting time is gonna be longer....

What do you guys think?

I feel you so much 😩 I was supposed to fly with my fiancé (US citizen) from Poland to the US at the end of March. The 12th of March I woke up to the travel ban news. It’s really hard, we’re waiting for our NOA2 but I was planning to fly there on my ESTA.   I’ve never even imagined the scenario of world pandemic.. we need to be strong because it’s worth it. 
I’m staying very positive at the point of flying. I’m sure it won’t take so much time to reopen the airports and stuff but I’m sure people will need to stay precautious. 
Stay strong

Every state has to meet certain criteria before the "gate" opens.   Not every state will be ready at the same time.  Trump is giving a lot of flexibility to each govenor to make decisions on "opening " up.  States like Montana,  North Dakota and Wyoming are probably ready right now.  East coast states are gonna be a  while.

Your message made me feel that I am not alone. At the 16th of March our case status was “ready” and at that day embassy was closed and we were looking forward to book my appointments and fly to America but it’s been one month my case is just sitting at the embassy... still waiting. That might not make your visa process faster because you are already waiting for the NOA2. Once you have NOa2 to NVC process and embassy receives it I hope this corona nightmare is gonna be gone and you can handle the interview without extra waiting time... 🙂

I am so sorry to hear that... My fiancé and his family and friends were gonna fly to Istanbul and we were planning a small engagement dinner and our families were gonna meet with each other in person for the first time but we had to cancel it. Cancelling our plans and not seeing your loved one sucks... Not knowing when you will see him the next time sucks more... I really feel you. I’m sure of that this situation is not endless... it will be over eventually. The question is; when?
