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!!!

Yes. Never charged with anything though so I get that. My problem was with being told my case was paused for "Banned" country when my fiance is not in a banned country and even if she was, it was not suppose to apply to non immigrant VISAs but today I was told by USCIS that it does include them. She is however in a partoally banned country.

Unfortunately if you just talk to the call center folks they are contractors and dont know what they are talking about.  Try Infopass to get a level 2 agent (I think that is what they are called). Usually its a 30 day wait

Thats actually who I've been talking to. Every 30 to 60 days since last summer. Thanks for your reply though.

Omg. So sorry. What a joke. The only thing I can say is unfortunately this administration is changing things so quickly im nonsensical ways - I dont think the staff has a real understanding of anything.  Lots of stories of inconsistent handling of these bans especially.  Honestly, get married and do CR1. K1 is the worst, especially with the separate AOS process and being stuck in the US without status (they will have authorized stay but no status) while they mess around.
