URGENT: Will Embassies immediately reissue F4 visas after Trump Ban?

[Nicolaszz 10]

Hey Folks

So my F4 immigrant visa expires on the 18th of June and my medicals earlier than that. First question I have is: Do I have to go before my medicals expire or before the visa expires? 

 

Second, I talked to the embassy before the trump ban and they told me they'll reissue visas after embassies open due to the airport being closed in Lebanon. But Middle East Airlines are offering limited flights to Paris and London (They are repatriating Lebanese Citizens from there, but you can go on departure if you want. Plus you get a free return ticket for when you want to come back) for $1200 dollars which you can connect to the US with a separate ticket. 
I'll consider going on one of these flights if they will not re-issue visas afterwards, but if they will, I might as well just wait. So do y'all know if embassies will re-issue F4 immigrant visas immediately after the ban? I sent them a mail right after the order was signed but I received the same auto-reply about considering re-issuance of visas I did earlier.

 

I could ask the embassy but only American Citizen Services are available right now which I don't qualify for calling as im not a citizen( It's saturday) and I need to book the flight quick.

Medical and visa expiration are one and the same

No it doesn't.   Visa expiration is timed to the medical 

[Nicolaszz 10]

Huh. I could swear the doctor told me that I have to go before my medical expires and not my Visa. Anyway, How do I find out when my medicals expire? Could you give me a proof of what you're saying? It's not that I don't believe you but it's just contrary to what I've been told.

Any x-rays taken will be given to you. You DO NOT need to bring the x-rays to your visa interview unless you suffer from tuberculosis (TB). However, you must carry the x-rays with you when you travel to the United States for the first time. The medical report must be less than six months old when you enter the United States as an immigrant.

So far you have not provided anything that is not common knowledge. 

 

So what are your two alleged dates you are arguing about?

I did my medical report like 10-15 days before the interview dude. They didn't happen at the same time therefore they have different dates, no?

What are the exact dates of each event and what is the expiration date of your Visa?

18 June for the visa, but I'm not sure of the exact date of the medical exams. All I know is that I did them around 10 days before the actual interview. Is there anyway to check?

Ok.  6 months from January 3rd is July 3rd.  So you have now proven that your date are correct as your medical must have been December 18.
