[UPDATED] My fiancé(e) visa petition has been approved. Can I continue with the application process now?

The Department of State suspended routine visa services worldwide in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As global conditions evolve, U.S. Embassies and Consulates are beginning a phased resumption of routine visa services. The resumption of routine visa services will occur on a post-by-post basis, in coordination with the Department’s Diplomacy Strong framework for safely returning our workforce to Department facilities. U.S. Embassies and Consulates have continued to provide emergency and mission-critical visa services since March and will continue to do so as they are able. As post-specific conditions improve, our missions will begin providing additional services, culminating eventually in a complete resumption of routine visa services.

We are only able to process visas for spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens (IR-1, CR-1, IR-2 or CR-2). We are not currently able to issue or reissue any fiancé(e) (K-1) visas. This is why it is not possible for you to proceed with your visa application at this time.

We are unable to provide a specific date for when the U.S. Embassy in London will resume K-1 visa services, or when the U.S. Embassy in London will return to processing at pre-COVID workload levels, but please be assured that we will resume K-1 visa services as soon as possible while complying with operational and travel regulations and restrictions. This is why we urge you to keep checking this website regularly for the latest information about the Embassy’s operating status and any further updates.

If you were contacted with your case number and application instructions before March 20, 2020, you can use this time to collect the supporting documents that will be needed for your visa interview. However, you should not attempt to book a medical examination or visa interview date yet because it is not currently possible for K-1 visas to be processed or issued. Please continue to check this webpage as we will update it as soon as it is possible for you to resume the application process by booking a medical and a visa interview date.

If your petition has been approved but you have not yet received your case number and application instructions, you will be contacted with that information when it is possible for your begin to the visa application process. You can check our website to help you prepare for the next steps and you can begin collecting the supporting documents you will need. However, you should not try to book a medical examination or visa interview yet. Please continue to check this webpage for updates.
