Although the Visa pause is still in effect for US Immigrant Visas, it appears that Fiancé(e) Visas are starting to be processed with one change whereby an original divorce decree rather than a copy is required.

US Immigration has put in place a pause on visa processing for Immigrant visas but it does seem that the Embassy does require that K-1 Visa applicants set their social media accounts to "public".

Passport revocation, which can occur for several reasons, will result in the need to obtain a travel letter from the US Embassy in order to return to the United States and rectify the issue.

Trump's Visa pause which is in place while the administration is retooling the Public Charge mechanism is causing a delay to Immigrant Visas which basically leaves the K-1 Visa as the only Visa to take a loved one to the US.

US Social Security has brought some changes online that at the moment do not impact standard recipients but are rather aimed at Americans who receive support based on needs or disabilities.

It seems the DHS has stated it will no longer grant Green Cards which will have a major impact especially on the K-1, which presumes adjustment of status to Green Card, and will most likely be legally challenged.

The Trump Administration, specifically USCIS, has created a new regulation whereby it is not going to issue Green Cards, even though standard operating procedures seem not to have been followed.

The process for obtaining a US Tourist Visa is quite a difficult process, especially in the context of proving that one has weak ties to the US, even if all other requirements are met.
