Bittersweet news...we all we happy they cancelled the furloughs and will have opportunity to work on backlog. But they find the way to slow down things anyway... Reading news today and seems like many countries are starting to cancel flights again. At least Poland and Ukraine. 

 

I think in this time of uncertainity they should prioritize spousal visas. It's so unhumane the governments play with our lives.

 

Sorry for my mood. Have been apart with my beloved husband for 9 months already. He has tickets for September 25 but Ukraine forbid entry of foreigners starting August 27😑 I know many people here have a story to tell... Hope the situation will improve soon and we all can reunite with our loved ones ❤️

 

 

@Myroslavacheck the latest news as it seems forbidden entry of foreigners does not apply to spouses of Ukraine Citizens.  https://zn.ua/ukr/UKRAINE/kabmin-virishiv-ekstreno-zakriti-kordon-dlja-inozemtsiv-vzhe-z-pivnochi-koho-pustjat-v-ukrajinu.html?fbclid=IwAR13hjqQuOm7QEDo7iWU9nDlkTOFm4VyUh1oYt7qjblTUeGHEZTIfu-9ovM

Sounds like they are going to reduce contracts for part of the support staff that do things like dealing with mail, data entry/scanning as needed, filing, answering the phones, organizing the case fil

I don't know. At this point I'll still take it as some good news. Longer processing times are still not going to be as long as if they furloughed 13,000 people.

Got it. So basically the "good news" is only going to last until the end of September, then we have to wait again and see what happens.

Thank you for the link. Yes, it's true, spouses have the right to entry Ukraine. But there is a high risk of cancelled flights too. The only hope is that my husband has layover in Amsterdam. Currently 4 different airlines fly to Ukraine from there so maybe it will be possible for him to come. We will see. Time will tell

You'd be amazed at the complete lack of things a huge group of people can accomplish when they're determined.
