Hello All, 


I want to ask my if k-1 visas are being processed I cannot find clear cut answers. My fiancé already did the interview. It went to administrative processing. Plus the medical was still pending. During that his medical came back and there was an issue. They gave us a year. November 1st he was to repeat the medical in SDO. My question is. Are they doing medical exams? If everything comes out fine would his visa be able to be processed? 
 

At the interview they told us we do not need to repeat the interview process again. 
 

My Fiancé and I have been in this process for what seems like forever. Please do not go through our timeline and get freaked out. We have been one of a kind.

The issue was resolved. I’m just wondering if since we resolved that issue. If they would be able to process the visa. Since we no longer need interview at the embassy.

I’m speaking hypothetically. Appointment will be coming up. I just wanted to know if everything went well does anyone know if they will process his visa or will he have to wait for the embassy to open. The embassy in SDO is still closed.

The website says that visa processing remains suspended. So they won’t be able to issue the visa until operations start again.

I would assume they would not process the visa until they have resumed normal normal operations for K-1 visas.
