A Judge Rules, More or Less, on K-1 Visas
A D.C. federal court judge ruled last week that the State Department cannot suspend issuing the K-1 (fiancé) visas during the COVID-19 crisis, but, on the other hand, decided that he would not force the Department to issue visas to the 150 or so plaintiffs in the case – or at least not yet.
