Hello everyone I have some disturbing news. It seems China is restricting it citizens from leaving the country for the foreseeable future. My fiance is Chinese and we are in the process of getting a K-1 Fiance Visa. However, her Chinese passport expires in April 2022, and she is extremely worried she will not be issued a new one, hence not being able to come here and marry me. Does anyone have any insight on this topic? Will China ease these restrictions or is this the new way of controlling their population (even more) and this is just the next phase of their plan? This seems to be our biggest hurdle in this process and it's so unfair, I don't know what to think.

Seems to be more a controlling function than anything related to Covid.

Does anyone have any more information on this? Will the new passport laws be relaxed in the coming months or is this the "new China" way? Would they make an exception for her since the passport is needed for marriage and not just like for fun traveling? Is it over, should I give up on my hopes of marrying this woman? I feel awful right now
