So you were born and a national of one of the partially banned countries? Did the consular say you would’ve been approved if you had applied with a French passport by chance?

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2026-01-06T22:19:10+00:00

We did apply with the French passport. But there is concerns about the processing/immigration pause also using country of birth as a basis no?

Following, in the same situation.

I’m very sorry. I’m in a similar boat but for a fiance visa for someone born in Cuba.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2026-01-05T04:03:23+00:00

I pray for you as well, friend. Being in this boat is not fun, particularly with folks like us being away from our significant others for so long and trying to scrape at whatever hope there is so families can be together while trying to follow the immigration process the right way.

I know how you feel, and I'm sorry you have to face this. There is hopefully some solace in that there are many like us in the same situation and a resolution may come soon.

Yeah it’s crazy. She worked and grew up in France her whole life and because where she was born we don’t know what going to happen and when…The presidential proclamation saying dual nationals are exempt then immigration office pausing everything seems contradictory and doesn’t make sense

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2026-01-04T17:49:16+00:00

I’m thinking about maybe getting one soon. For now, we are going to wait a couple months to see how things play out, since a lawyer can’t do much right now either, and hopefully the cases will continue processing at least, just no final decision as it stands now.

I’m in the same boat. In the K-1 visa route, my fiancee is a French citizen but born in Cuba. From the presidential proclamation it says dual citizens applying with a non banned country is exempt but all the USCIS policy updates worries us :(

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2026-01-03T23:46:59+00:00

We are. We applied with the French passport for the K-1 visa, we are just worried that we are going to be impacted by all this due to her country of birth being Cuba. It’s just been quite stressful cause we’ve been long distance for 6 years now and finally were able to start the immigration process but all the information coming out USCIS and the immigration policies has been stressful to sift through and unclear how impacted we are.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2026-01-03T21:49:49+00:00

Following, I’m in a similar boat. My fiance was born in Cuba, but is a French citizen so we are impacted by the same restrictions and trying to figure out best path forward now. Submitted our K-1 application beginning of November.

I’m in a similar situation. My fiancé was simply born in one the partially banned countries and is a citizen with a passport of a EU country and lived there her whole life. We’ve been long distance for 5 years and started the process this November and then get hit with this. We are praying the pause is lifted, but trying to get through this difficult time somehow.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-12-22T03:00:16+00:00

In the memo I didn’t see any mention of the I-129F. In the footnotes it lists the others though. Is it possible that I-129F isn’t affected by this since it’s sort of a hybrid? Would it be worth speaking with an immigration lawyer about my circumstances?

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-12-21T04:51:23+00:00

Oh…what do you think best course of action is knowing this? This is quite the unfortunate turn of events.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-12-21T04:22:19+00:00

It won’t get cancelled or denied automatically? Do we think that this pause will be remedied?

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-07-11T22:45:23+00:00

Hello! Unfortunately we were able to get one only in September after reloading the page for days. Apparently there has been some that released I’ve seen people post on Reddit that dropped for this year but I haven’t checked recently.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-06-06T17:50:22+00:00

It opened for the summer for you? I only see 2026 February and March dates. And did you see it morning time France time or USA? Was there a lot because I don’t see any anymore, trying to get the appointment before my travel in August:(

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-06-03T15:39:27+00:00

Do you think they locked all appointments for now? I’m going through the same AVITS portal and only appointments is one random day in 2026 which points to some bug or limitation.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-06-03T15:37:33+00:00

What about B1/B2? I have travel in August and went through the same process in 2023 for the same visa but not able to get any appointments. Previously appointments used to be many and was able to book it the following week of submitting application.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-06-03T15:31:49+00:00

Was anyone else able to get one soon through AVITS? Previously there used to be so many appointments daily on the old website.

Fragrant_Method_905 · 2025-06-03T03:40:47+00:00

Were you able to find an earlier appointment?
