Impact of Supreme Court Decision on Travel and Refugee Ban On June 26, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld portions of President Trump’s March 6, 2017 Executive Order which would ban from travel to the United States certain nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia,...Revised Trump Executive Order of March 7, 2017
The President’s new executive order of March 7, 2017 imposes an entry ban on foreign nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, effective 12:01am ET on March 16. Nationals of Iraq are not subject to the ban. The ban does not apply to U.S. lawful permanent residents, dual nationals holding a passport from a non-restricted country and foreign nationals who hold a valid U.S. visa. The Ban also immediately suspends the Visa Interview Waiver Program (VIWP) and effectively mandates in-person interviews for all nonimmigrant visa applicants, unless an interview is not required by statute or otherwise excepted by the Order.
