Executive Order and K1s???

The link to the executive order is above. Are K1s going to be blocked for now? I think so, according to Section 2 - that is, unless your fiance(e) is exempted under Section 3 - and there are 9 exemptions.

I'm really worried that this suspension is going to exceed 60 days and that our petitions will expire at some point. Ugh!!! So frustrating.

 

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.

Are you saying K1s are exempt the K1 visa is not an immigrant visa?

K1/2 is exempt.  K1/2 is a Non immigrant visa that allows you to marry and adjust.
