Eh, that seems to apply to K1s too this time.

Thank you! I suppose I am also concerned about additions to the EO in the next few weeks. I suppose I just need to wait and see.

The new PP doesn't ban K-1. See link in the above post.

They're making exceptions for spouses. K1 visas aren't spousal visas. It also applies to anyone who doesn't have a valid non-immigrant visa at the time of publication.

 

On top of that it also doesn't seem to make any exceptions for tourists? Did this EO just shut down the US or am I reading this all wrong?

Incorrect. See Section 2. It only lists certain Nonimmigrant Visas (H-1B, H-2B, J category, and L category). Section 1 extended the April 22 ban on certain Immigrant Visas.

Thank you. That’s what I thought but this situation is stressful whenever someone says otherwise it worries me! I just need to see someone enter on a K1 soon!

At best, it's up to the embassies again. At worst, K1s aren't listed as exceptions, so unless you have a valid visa in hand, you're screwed.

I have a valid visa at least. It was entry that I was worried about.

You can enter on a K1. It's the "getting the K1" that's almost impossible right now.

looks like if you dont have a visa as of today and outside US  than you have to be in the exception list to enter

I disagree. In due time DOS will update the FAM to reflect the new PP. And the PP is very clear.

I read this as only banning the named visas (H,J,L) or am I totally confused? "...seeking entry pursuant to any of the following nonimmigrant visas is hereby suspended" so the ones named are suspended or not?

Yes so K1 should be good right? Confused as to why people say it's affected
