The recent closure of the interview site in Vancouver for K1 visas has left many Canadians in a difficult situation. The K1 visa, also known as the fiancé visa, is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals engaged to U.S. citizens to enter the United States for a 90-day period in order to get married.

Canadian K1 visa applicants may have a few options after the closure of the Vancouver interview site. One option is to travel to another country where there is an interview site available, such as in the United States or in another country nearby. However, this may not be feasible for everyone due to travel restrictions, costs, and other factors.

Another option is to contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to request a transfer of the case to a different U.S. consulate or embassy. This may take some time and require additional paperwork, but it is worth exploring if it means being able to proceed with the K1 visa process.

It is also possible that the Vancouver interview site may reopen in the future, so keeping an eye on updates from USCIS and the U.S. Department of State is important. In the meantime, it is advisable for Canadian K1 visa applicants to seek guidance from a qualified immigration attorney to help navigate these uncertain times.
