After 487 days of applying, a lawsuit, blood, sweat, tears, money...TIM. HAS. HIS. K-1 VISA. #finally#LoveIsNotTourism#ResumeK1visa#letusmarry
While this is so amazing for us in this moment, it should have never come to this. I'm so sorry for those who are still in limbo.
@charlie_moss15@gsiskind@jeffjoseph@ckuck I think the lawsuit was filed around 9/17/2020 and Tim got his interview 12/08/2020 so once we were named plaintiffs and the judge made his ruling the Frankfurt Consulate was very responsive. I think the judge's ruling was made sometime in late October that affected us.
The whole point is that love is NOT tourism. It’s not vacationing. Family is essential. Seeing your partner is essential. We need different rules.
Stop lumping family reunification in with tourism, vacations, and leisure. Not the same thing.

@gsiskind Do you think K-1 spouses filing for AOS and work permit will get their work permits and/or green cards quicker or is there just too much backlog at this point?
Also, with families separated for many months and waiting patiently for change, can you be any more insensitive in how you messaged this? Do better please.
@MamasGi51359030@jrpsaki My point was, rather, that he gets way more exposed and far more likely to get Covid by staying in a 3rd country for two weeks than if he went from his home to the airport then I picked him up and took him home 😉. That applies to anyone with a story. Makes no sense.
@jrpsaki Do scientists realize that in order for ppl like me to marry my foreign fiancé on his K-1 he has to stay in a 3rd country for 14 days then come here? Instead of him flying directly to me where I can take him straight home to quarantine? Allow exemptions for couples, PLEASE.
@jrpsaki As long as you include reuniting with your partner as an exemption, I understand. Couples have been separated for at least a year. Even those who seek to get married. I'm tired of seeing athletes allowed in with their partners and big regular ole citizens.
January is a difficult month for me. It’s cold, dark, stretches on esp in lockdown.
But I’m good this year. Bc I’m with my husband @jacobwt98. It changes everything.
I wish everyone could be w/their partners. Hang in there, friends. I’m still rooting for you. #LoveIsNotTourism

COVID cases decreasing?
It’s not okay to separate families.
COVID cases the same?
It’s not okay to separate families.
COVID cases increasing?
It’s not okay to separate families.
People panic when cases go up but it’s mostly community spread. Not travel. #LoveIsNotTourism
Just finished the status conference in Milligan v. Pompeo. Judge Boasberg was more than surprised that DOS thinks the injunction is only for named Plaintiffs. He is allowing us to file a motion to add Plaintiffs. The deadline to join is December 11th. Email @gsiskind. #k1visa
