I called NVC yesterday to inquire about the status of the case seeing as how USEMB BKK claimed it was now operating at full capacity. I got told they're still not accepting new petitions.... Frustration does not begin to describe this process.

Did you consider calling or emailing the BKK embassy to find out why?

This is aggravating! I and my fiancé are waiting too. Hope they start soon!

My fiancée and I got the same story from the Bangkok Embassy and NVC... she electronically filed the DS-160 and paid the fee. I have all my paperwork ready to send over and she has spent the last month getting all her vaccinations out of the way... our NOA2 was approval date was 4/2/20. This is getting frustrating.

I emailed the NVC about the status of our application for K-1 Visa and got told the same thing.  They are not accepting new applications due to COVID-19.  SMH

The only hope I see right now is the ongoing law suit against the Department of State by about 150 couples that already had their USCIS approved but are being held up at the NVC as you described.  Kuck and Baxter Immigration are the attorneys and provided an update which was linked in another part of this website.  Bottom line is that there is encouraging news that a judge will order continuation to process K1 visas at consulates.  It is unfortunate that a law suit needs to be filed for a bunch of bureaucrats to make a logical decision.
