Waiting for h1b visa from Frankfurt consulate, worried about new travel ban

I imagine that we’re all in the dark here, but I figured I’d ask anyway: does anyone know whether visas will continue to be issued in countries affected by this latest travel ban?

Here’s why I’m asking. My partner (who has had h1b status since summer 2020 but who doesn’t yet have his actual visa) had to leave the United States in January 2021 to go to the Netherlands take care of his seriously ill father. Since then, he has been unable to return. He was able to get a visa interview in Spring 2021 in Frankfurt, and was told that he’d be eligible for a visa once the travel ban was lifted. He sent in his passport to the consulate about two weeks ago and is waiting for the visa to be issued.

I’m worried now that if Biden extends the ban to Europe, we’ll be left in the same situation we’ve been in all year: no visa and no way for him to get home to the states.

Does anyone have any sense of how realistic this worry is? Sorry for any incoherence—it’s been a long year.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
