Ok, so my fiancee has an approved K1 Visa in-hand.  I'm hearing that she can enter the USA without any problems.  Please confirm!

I hope so. I have the same situation.

Germany is under a flight ban though. Hopefully he doesn’t revise this before the ban is lifted.

so permanent residents are obviously ok, spouses are ok, and minor children of united states citizens. Anyone else, parents, siblings, fiances, are they subject to the ban?

Parents siblings and fiances without visas today are subject to the ban

If the visa has not been issued then it wont be issued until the ban is lifted

Sec. 2.  Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry.  (a)  The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 1 of this proclamation shall apply only to aliens who:

(i)    are outside the United States on the effective date of this proclamation;

(ii)   do not have an immigrant visa that is valid on the effective date of this proclamation; and

(iii)  do not have an official travel document other than a visa (such as a transportation letter, an appropriate boarding foil, or an advance parole document) that is valid on the effective date of this proclamation or issued on any date thereafter that permits him or her to travel to the United States and seek entry or admission.

 

 

what is this referring to? Is this the sealed packet they give you with your K1 visa that they tell you not to open and bring with you? or is this the thing you need to aplpy for if you leave the US while on a k1? 

I think its worded so they can apply however they like. At the open its says spouse of USC then it goes on to a the stipulations. More messs

So I'm guessing those of us in the US in the AOS stage are safe?

so only if you are a spouse of a US citizen, you can continue applying for a spousal visa. otherwise, sounds like they are on hold

Is this accurate though because k1 is non immigrant.

this part makes me think, yes you are safe 

[wilcouk 7]

By the sounds of it, the people NOT exempted from this ban are Spouses and minor children of Permanent Residents / Green Card Holders, basically if you're not a US Citizen or married to one, you're on your own for the time being.

 

AOS applicants INSIDE the US are completely fine if you're married to a USC.

 

He also mentioned that he can extend it or change it, who knows. - his words.

Quick points as I read...

1. Impacts only immigrant visas. NIVs are not impacted.
2. Does not impact anybody inside the US right now. Only people entering. AOS should not be impacted as a result.
3. Does not impact existing visas.
4. Existing, valid AP documents are still valid.
5. Does not apply to LPRs
6. Does not apply to any "physician, nurse, or other healthcare professional; to perform medical research or other research intended to combat the spread of COVID-19; or to perform work essential to combating, recovering from, or otherwise alleviating the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, as determined by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or their respective designees;  and any spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old of any such alien who are accompanying or following to join the alien;"
7. Does not impact EB-5 visas (an investment visa)
8. Does not impact the spouse of a USC
9. Does not impact children (under 21) of a USC, IR-4, or IH-4 visas
10. Does not impact members or spouse or children of an active armed forces member

 

Edit:

It is active for 60 days unless extended.

Does not impact asylum or refugee cases (or other SI/SQ categories)

Effective as of 11:59 PM tomorrow (April 23rd)

It appears so based on my reading.  It seems to be geared only toward those outside the US.
