US Immigration from Dominican Republic

My friends biometrics was rescheduled due to co-vid PD date 2/10/20 . She's thinking since its so late, as soon as the biometrics go in she should have her EAD fairly quickly. Is this true or totally dependent on the Application Center? Thanks

Has anyone had any negative experiences traveling with Advanced Parole? Wanting to go visit my husbands family but I m a bit nervous to use the AP

My husband was originally scheduled for his interview on April 2nd and it got cancelled on March 19 due to Covid-19. A friend of his that applied and did his medical exam around the same time as my husband told him that he completed his interview and was told he needed to enter the US before his medical exam was no longer valid on August 6. I m wondering whether this is true or not since we have not received any phone calls or emails regarding this and the embassy website states that they do not know when they will reinstate routine services. Does anyone know if this is true ? Are they starting to reschedule people little by little ?

Just had a quick question, does anyone know the average timeframe for a response when you request an emergency interview? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The DOS just posted this on their site: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/important-notice-for-k-visa-applicants-affected-by-covid-19.html

Is this... good news? or is this the same thing we've been hearing for the past 6 months but just about K1 visas?

I'm a little glad to have some news very specifically calling out K1 visas but I can't tell if it's good news or just the same as always. Any thoughts?
