Same. Passport expiring soon. I’m living in the UK and can’t go home to the US right now (well I could, but it would require a 2 week quarantine). It’s mildly disconcerting, I hope this doesn’t really go on for 18 months.
- reifiedgent 7y agoI live in San Francisco on an E3 visa (Australian), but got caught out by the Schengen/UK bans and am currently in the UK where I am fortunately also a citizen. I can't go home to SF right now, and my visa expires in June. It remains to be seen whether I'll be able to renew it before then, or if travel restrictions will be lifted. Residents on non-immigrant visas are getting a raw deal. The world has got bigger problems but this really sucks.
- gnulinux 7y agoMaybe not 18 months, but this going to take a while to recover. It can take any where from 6 months to 8 months to a year. Be prepared.
- r00fus 7y ago> well I could, but it would require a 2 week quarantine That's actually quite reasonable as most folks are effectively shelter-in-place. Not a big deal, but would you really want to fly in these conditions? Expired but valid US passport = you can still re-enter the USA.
- chatmasta 7y agoI definitely wouldn’t want to fly now, no (I’m also sheltering in place). For me it’s more of an existential panic that if there were some emergency it would not be feasible for me to return home quickly.
