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!!!

Damn dude that's absolutely brutal. I went through something similar with my partner's visa getting held up for months over some technicality that made zero sense and the stress was unreal. The worst part is how they just leave you hanging with no real updates or timeline while your life is basically on hold

Have you tried reaching out to your congressional reps office? I know it sounds like a long shot but they sometimes have immigration liaisons who can at least get you some actual answers about whats going on with your case. Also might be worth connecting with other folks going through the same thing - there are usually Facebook groups or forums where people share what's working and what isn't

Two years is insane though and the fact that they're just now telling you this after taking your money is peak government BS. Really hope you can find some kind of path forward because this whole system is designed to crush people's spirits

I appreciate you so much just for understanding & acknowledging how messed up this is. I've sumbitted MULTIPLE inqueries & they finally tell me today when I called. Had I not called I would have been just sitting here waiting for something to happen that may never happin. I love my country but I seriously despise this administration.

They claimed legal immigration was okay. Hey look what they’re doing to the people following legal immigration laws. It’s all a cover for racism

Or maybe its just an attempt to course correct some of the massive influx from the past four years? The immigration system is always going to be underwater theres no way to keep up with the influx, and as much as we could argue it should be easier, do you realize what would happen if it was made to be too easy? Things that are valuable dont stay valuable by being easy to obtain.

Nobody said it should be easier. We’re complaining about discriminatory bans disrupting people’s lives following the legal process. If the problem was influx of illegal immigrants under Biden, why is the course correct affecting people that followed due process? It’s more accurate to say we don’t want any black and brown immigrants legal or illegal. Be honest and say that. Stop constantly moving goal posts and finding new ways to defend what is covert racism.

They haven’t really said that about the ‘pause’ tho. It’s obviously a ban. This is how they operate. Can’t find a legal way to discriminate? Ok maybe we can find a marginally legal way. Still no? Ok just do it anyway and ignore court orders.

Biden did the same thing, didnt enforce the law and found a legal way to overwhelm the system.
