US Immigration from Ukraine

Hi all,

My mother was coming to US on IMM grant visa which when she arrives in US will grant her Green Card. Well, she had a transfer at Zurich airport and they didn't let her go to us, she has to go back to Ukraine. US baned all entry from European countries due to the COVID. Only Americans and diplomats are allowed to entry. Now I do not know what's next since her visa expires on July 2.

For my fiancee to get her K-1 visa the last item we are waiting on is for the Embassy in Kyiv to open and schedule her K-1 interview. Her and her daughter have valid US Tourist Visas and has been to the US twice already. I plan on having them fly round trip from Odesa to Istanbul to Chicago on Turkish Airlines, July 5th and return August 9th. I have been told by Homeland Security the planned trip is OK but as with all travel the passport control officer at the airport has the final say on entry to the US. Does anyone see any issues they may have making this trip and getting thru passport control?

If you have a valid U.S. visa and have been in Ukraine, or in another country not covered by COVID-19 related restrictions as described below, for at least 14 days prior to departure for the United States, you may travel to the United States.

If you wish to transit through another country to the United States, you need to plan carefully and review COVID-19-related restrictions.

Transiting through certain areas en route to the United States -- including the Schengen Area, the UK, Ireland, China, Iran, or Brazil -- is not currently permitted for most visa holders.

This guidance does not apply to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents ("green card" holders) who wish to travel home from Ukraine. U.S. Citizens should review the latest alerts available at https://ua.usembassy.gov/u /security-and-travel-information/.

Hi all,

So according to the recent Presidential Proclamation on immigration (thanks a lot), F-2A visa category which is for a spouse or unmarried children of a Permanent Resident will not be processed at least by the end of 2020. And frankly, I don t believe that even if Mr. Trump is out of the office in November, somebody new would rush to change things back to normal.

Dear fellows who are in the same boat as I, just out of curiosity, what are you planning to do? Any thoughts?

I ve been around other topics on that subject, but the majority of discussion is happening about K-1s.

i am trying to log in to ceac and they ask for an invoice number from my nvc letter.

my nvc letter has my wac number and my kev number on it but there is no invoice number on it

what is this referring to and how can i log on to ceac to pay my fees?

Hi.

Texas office received my application on May 18, 2020. Check was cashed and i received my case number. The notification which came in email said I should wait for the receipt with instructions. My 2yr green card expired two days ago and I still did not receive anything in mail. I called USCIS few days ago, before my GC expired and was told to send them an email. Which I did, right away. But still no response. Anyone had the same experience?
