Here's a link to the K1 Moscow embassy litigation if anyone on here would like to sign up. It's for anyone with an approved I-129F

I can see that there is a lot of discussion around K1 visas, and wondered if their priority is higher than CR1/IR visas? (those who are already married to the US citizen). Could someone clarify for me? Its just I'm not seeing alot of info for this visa category (CR1/IR). Of course, I hope that everyone gets their interviews scheduled as soon as possible, however! Thanks again.

Priority is about the same. I think generally there are just more K1 applied for than CR1/IR1 at this particular embassy. The litigation is for K1 because we have no opportunity to transfer our cases to other embassies so we are completely stuck in limbo

Actually u can try to transfer your case to Poland, as they took k-1 visas from the travel ban

Many people have tried

yes, tried and got denied because Poland is a shengen county and didn't process k-1 visas, but u should check out the new announcement.

 

On April 8, 2021, the Secretary of State determined that travel on an immigrant or fiancé(e) visa is in the national interest for purposes of granting exceptions under the geographic COVID proclamations.   Immigrant Visa processing posts may now grant immigrant and fiancé(e) visas to applicants otherwise eligible, notwithstanding these proclamations.

 

And I know a girl who wrote to them after this news and got a response from Warsaw stating that they agreed to accept her case.

For cr/ir visa you can at least request a transfer to Poland or Kazakhstan. Bunch of people did it and everything was good

Can we page users here?  Look at Michael & Kate. They successfully transferred to Warsaw from Russia, although it was a couple of months ago I think.

Apparently they transferred late last year.  They started in Russia, and transferred to Poland.  I think they were the first to succeed.

No, according to their messages they have a different situation. She has a Poland residency and was a plaintiff round 3
