It means your passport is ready for collection otherwise it will be returned back to the consulate if not picked up within 5 working days.

What is the solution to this travel ban for those awaiting interview. Are we still meant to attend the interview. I can’t believe this is happening.

If your interview date is after Feb 21, I will advise that you postpone it, keep postponing it until you have exhausted all your options to or a better guidance is given or reported about the outcome.

Otherwise you risk getting denied or put in administrative processing.

NTUk1:

I don’t think they prevent immigrant applications, even with the ban you can still apply but will be denied under presidential proclamation/travel ban. This is sad indeed and I wish there was something that could be done about it. Only God knows if this ban will be lifted and if so how long it will take.

This is true, specialized immigrant visas will still be approved just as the DHS circular stated, while the ban is still on, so they are not going to remove the link to the immigrant page.

Also I believe there will still be additional guidance from DHS as lawsuits are going to mount in the US in the coming days.

The first travel ban was allowed by the US Supreme Court because administrative provisions were given to treat each application on a case by case bases...

Plus the EO stated one can still apply up until Feb. 21, but failed to state what will happen to applications in the pipeline.

Well we have to understand this ban properly so we know the next steps to take.

Just like the initial ban, im sure the EO will be halted by a lower court(s) until it gets to the Supreme Court again. The good thing is that it might take several months before this ban actually takes effect! Let’s all be prayerful

But it’s not like it’s a new ban. Trump just added more countries to the list of a ban that was already in place. So can it really be halted.

hmm.....

I wouldn’t be so such, though I see only one area, where lower will halt it, but it will take a radical Judge to issue a Nation wide halt.

The difference between this and the first EO is that, then...there were no Supreme Court precedents for the lower courts to follow.

Now the Supreme has spoken and said the President have the constitutional right to ban certain immigrants from entry the US, who they deem as Security threats, provided there are in place administrative process to make a case by case determination.

Combine that, with last week decision from the US supreme on one other EO from Trump on immigrant public charge policy that was halted by a lower court in New York pending the final appeal process. The Supreme invalidate that Nation wide halt, except for the case of Illinois state and admonished the lower courts against issuing Nation wide bans.

A radical district court judge can still disregard that admonishment and issue a Nation wide ban, because unlike the Supreme precedent, the administration did not provide an administrative process to examine each applicant on a case by case bases. This will be very very extreme and the chances of it happening is very slim, but never say never....but the administration can response back and extend the administrative process in the updated travel ban1 to this travel ban, thereby quashing the case.

But like travel ban1, the administrative is a whitewash, it is a dumping group; after your interview, they will tell you that, your status is in ‘administrative processing’....what they really meant is, they have sent your file to Washington DC for determination aka dump. Very few people get issued visa after administrative oversight from Washington DC, some get it issue after their US relatives file either individual or class action lawsuits against the US government.

If you are affected, talk to your US relative for them to be active in the US political scene, especially watching for any upcoming class action suits and to join those class suits. There are generally no fees to be a member of these class, only that your case must match the class action suits....the last Supreme Court rule on the Public Charge EO clearly state that benefits and reliefs sought ought to be limited to members of the class and not be National.

So, this is very much not fully unexploited territory.

I agree with your assertion! At this point, I will advise those that have interviews post 21st to stay glued to appointment page! My date was 24th but yesterday I miraculously changed it to an earlier date in February. Immediately I saw the news of the ban, I went to the page and saw an earlier date! Man, I rush the thing like fried rice! Don’t give up guys!

Wow!! I tap into this favor. I pray I get an earlier date by the grace of God.

I have been a quiet follower. And it’s quite painful that this is happening at this time. My fiancée will be coming upper week. And hearing this news is really devastating but Everything happens for a reason

@all, if your date is before 21ST FEB, please go to the Visa appointment page and reschedule to an earlier date, if none exist, keep refreshing, you might just be very lucky ( you can try this every midnight) . Good luck , share info with others

I already have gotten my own k1 visa but my worry is will they allow us to change our status inside? I don't want to go there and be stranded doing nothing if I cannot adjust my status due ie to the ban.

You can can! But you have to be above minimum poverty level

By God's grace we no go teh for that travel ban list, I'm positive it'll be resolved soonest

Same thing that's bothering me, I don't want to get there and wait for work permit for 12 months, doing nothing and adding no value because of the ban, this is worrisome

Keep this energy bro!

Interesting Angle!! But a K1 visa applicant is an intending immigrant.

Posted in What’s the future of K1 in the Visa ban affected countries
I spoke to my attorney today who confirmed that yes this will impact K-1 visas that are pending. She expects that interviews will be conducted and afterwards the case will go into administrative processing, indefinitely, until the ban is lifted or further instructions are received from the US government. She said waivers are not likely for K-1 cases since it is much harder to prove extreme hardship compared to say a married couple or parent/child being separated.



It doesn't seem like there is much that can be done except hope the ban is lifted or challenged in court, or vote Democrat in November...

"
First, as I said before, it is important to remember that this Proclamation only restricts entry on certain categories of immigrant visas. Family members can still visit their loved ones, businesses can still employ qualified candidates, and other visits can take place on a temporary basis with a non-immigrant visa."


I just observed he used certain categories of immigrant visas and not all categories of immigrant visas. Hopefully fiance(e) and spousal visas won't be affected

It is not certain category of immigrant visa, it is all categories of immigrant visa, spousal visa inclusive....except for specialized immigrant visa for those helpful to the US government...that means US military interpreters, US army or marine recruitment from Nigeria, US spies, etc...

Now with this law we will see who is really in love with each other and are willing to build the family together with an American partner in Nigeria or any other not so wealthy country. It suppose if Nigerians are banned, now they will do a Fiance(e) or spouse Nigeria visa, if the relationship is genuine. Others will start talking about love to German UK, Canada, etc. ladies abandoning their American "love".

@NTUk1,

The U.S. Citizen petitioner is not allowed at the interview. There's no need for that.

The CO just wants to hear only from the applicant, who intends to migrate to the U.S.

Cheers!
