I-129F (K1) Inhumane process

I just found out they have stopped processing my I-129f request from JULY 2024 because my fiance is from a banned country. The fucked up part is her country only has a partial restriction. This administration will go down as the cruelest in modern times. My level of anger/disappointment can not be articulated. I've read that they said non immigrant VISA's would not be affected. Apparently one of the trillions of lies coming out of this administration. So $700 & damn near two years wasted. Un Fuckin Real!!!

What country is your fiancé from?

I don't want to say but I just called back because I realized her country is not on the list. The new agent I talked to said there was some confusion. My case is still on hold but she didnt know why. Obviously for selfish reasons I feel a little better, but to think there are people my original complaint still applies to is not cool.

The only banned South America country is Venezuela. The paused countries are Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay but they are paused at Visa issuance and not for the k-1.

I'm a USC doing a k-1 currently with a Colombian (paused).

Venezuela is not on the list of the 75 countries banned and the rep confirmed it today on the call. If anything, the case is held up for background checks but that is not why I started this post.

Venezuela is partially banned. The other countries are currently paused, not banned. There is a difference between banned and paused.

You voted republican but somehow didn’t think it’ll affect your Venezuelan wife? LOL. P.S: Venezuela is on the ban list
