The K-1 Visa Process in 2021

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests we are discussing K-1 Fiancé Visas. A lot of folks have been asking me "What do I think the K-1 Visa process will look like come 2021?" This is often being asked in the context of the imminent presumptive change in administration from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. A lot of people have asked me "Do I think it is going to be better under Biden for prospective immigrants to the United States?" The short answer to that question is "yes I think ultimately a Biden Administration is going to be more friendly or they are going to deal with things more favorably with respect to immigrants than the Trump Administration did". 

That said, it is not going to happen overnight. It is going to take a little bit of time. We are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel especially with respect to Visa interviews being scheduled here at the US Embassy in Bangkok specifically. Now exactly when we are going to see interviews taking place definitely remains to be seen but long story short, things are moving ahead. We have assisted some folks in getting their K-1 interview scheduled and they have processed out and managed to get back over to the US. Certain cases that were documentarily qualified at NVC in an Immigrant Spouse Visa context are now starting to move through, so hopefully we are going to see a lot of those cases that were at NVC moving out in the K-1 context and getting interviews over here in Bangkok sooner rather than later. 

Long story short, I would say the first half of 2021 may unfortunately look a lot more like 2020 but maybe we will start seeing some real bright light at the end of that tunnel sometime around May-ish I would presume with respect to the K-1 Visa process.
