The current EO has not expired yet, but will do very so soon (Monday IIRC?).

Trump can choose to extend it before then or make a new one at any time. No way to know what he will decide to do, although the current one has had effectively almost no impact due to routine visa processing being suspended the entire time.

I would not be surprised if he extended it as a result, but that is just speculation.

 

Now the new EO has come in force. What is the status of IR5 category now ? Will it still remain under ban or it has now come out of banned categories? Thanks.

Everybody covered under the previous EO is still banned, plus H-1B, H-2B, certain J, and L visas.

So yes, IR-5 is still banned until at least next year.

Does anyone receive any instructions from their Consulate? Too early?

 

Honestly I am feeling devastated. This new Proclamation is the renewal of the previous one signed on April 22nd, 2020 from which the K1 visas were exempted. 

I don't know though.

I do not like the fact that K1 is neither included nor excluded in the new proclamation.

If "This new Proclamation is the renewal of the previous one signed on April 22nd, 2020 from which the K1 visas were exempted. " and no mention was made of K-1s in the latest announcement, doesn't stand to reason that K-1s are not affected by the extension?

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

Yes, maybe K1 exempts from this ban but embassies are not going to process it now. My friend got email today from Warsaw embassy, she had appointment for interview at 08.06.2020. When they will resume process for K1 nobody knows.

I contacted Chile embassy and was told they are not processing k1 visas right now but will let me know when they resume. I asked if k1s were affected by the EO, no straight answer. They said k1 visas are not what they're interviewing for at this time.

I reached out to mine and the only thing I could get was an operator saying "Yes, Ma'am, please hold on". She put me on hold with a voice message that advised on checking out the local governative travel website after what the call dropped.

Yeah, that's about the routine processing suspension. No one knows when it's about to start again.

It seems to be always totally forgotten. 

While K-1s are important to VJ posters (a lot of us either are or were involved in the K-1 process at one time), the reality is that there aren't a lot of them issued compared to other visas, and they have a lot of weird special cases about how they're handled, so it's not really surprising that they don't get mentioned explicitly.
