k1 NO2A Suspension

[caviarlifestyle 5]

Hi guys I talked to the National Visa Center this morning and was told all K1 Visa NO2A Packets transfers have been suspended until all embassy's open back up and then you will be able to set an interview date this they also said that they know alot of NO2A acceptance letters are about to expire but they have no control of the situations and that we should hear something from the embassy's before the letter expires in a email hopefully soon

@Sparkle Sparkle Yea This sucks and honestly I think the embassy's won't open until the end of the elections or a vaccine is released

Neither one of those two items are on the reopen checklist

@payxibka I don't understand what do you mean?

There are many things that need to happen before the embassy will resume normal Visa processing.   Nowhere is the elections or vaccination one listed as one of those items

@payxibka Well I was only giving my opinion like most no one really knows when the embassy's will return to full operations

True, but there is a published "plan" for resumption of services.

@payxibkaDo you happen to have the link for that plan?

Google "diplomacy strong".   The secretary of state issued this in early may.  The unfortunate thing is that while it is a three phase plan, it is difficult to assess where each country is at any point in time

@payxibkaThank for the Info

All embassies 

we have already heard a K1 was issued from Australia so i don't think you all have to wait for each and every embassy to open

the follow USCIS site explains the 3 phases / travel / passport site but it lists the 3 phases for embassies to be back in service as it also is for the covid 19 suspension

The person you are referring to has an "emergency" visa (K-1 expedited due to an emergency). Those are the only ones that are getting issued and those are by far not many. Here are additional facts.

 

Your link is for the reopening of stateside USCIS processing centers like Application Centers and one of the products from those locations is Passports. It has nothing to do with overseas embassies and the reopening for the processing of visas.

 

According to a State Department spokesperson, 97 overseas posts are in Phase I and 35 are in Phase II of reopening.

Under Phase I of the department's reopening plan, "Diplomacy Strong," up to 40% of "non-vulnerable employees" may be brought back, and under Phase II, 40% to 80%, according to an overview of the plan.

There has already been some interviews scheduled in Singapore for the 2nd week of July. This is for IR1 visas tho. In assuming embassies are opening up.
