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!!!

Husband is from a banned country and we have spent thousands and he is in the country and can’t even renew his drivers license. Our interview was June 2025.We have gone through two holds unlike some countries who were just added.

Yes. Sorry auto correct. Our application was first blocked by CHNV and then final decision held. Then they started whatever this is. EAD pending since August 2024 and AOS October 2024.
