"When your country is on partial ban but your USA visa still got approved," words overlaid on the TikTok video read.
The lady, with the handle @naomi555283, is a Zambian citizen, and her country is listed among the countries subject to a partial US visa ban, restricting the issuance of certain tourist, business, and student visas (B-1, B-2, F, M, J).
When asked about the type of visa she had, the lady revealed that it was a K1 visa.
What is a K-1 visa?
According to the US Department of State, the K-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, and it permits the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry his or her US citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival.
Under the US immigration law, a foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a US citizen is the recipient of an approved Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Form I-129F, who has been issued a non-immigrant K-1 visa for travel to the United States to marry his or her US citizen fiancé(e)
This suggests that the lady's partner is a White man. Checks on her TikTok page show her in the company of a White man, believed to be her partner.

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that the Trump administration had added more countries to its travel restrictions list.
Countries suspended from green card applications
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported the full list of countries that the US suspended from green card applications.
The decision followed directives issued under the Trump administration, according to a report by CBS News. The suspension affects applications handled by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and is linked to an ongoing review of immigration screening procedures.
A US government official said the move was driven by national security considerations tied to concerns over vetting and information sharing by affected countries. The development came after President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Tuesday, December 16, further tightening entry rules for nationals from countries the administration described as high risk.
