We would like to hear from people from the 19 affected countries on what the travel ban might mean for them
Donald Trump has announced an orderbanning travel from 12 countries and restricting travel seven others, citing a range of reasons including national security and concerns that visitors from those countries are overstaying their visas.
The nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be “fully” restricted from entering the US, according to the proclamation. Meanwhile, the entry of nationals of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela will be partially restricted.
There is anexemption, however, outlined in section 4 of the order, which states that “any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of state” are not subject to the ban.
We’d like to hear from people from the listed countries and how they might be affected by the ban. How would it affect your job or your relationships with a partner, friends or family in the US? If you already had plans to visit the country, what will happen now? Have you had an exemption?
