Visa stop for Muslims

[Tine68 2]

Hi everyone, i am wondering if everyone else that is scheduled for an Interview has received this email ? I am in Shock !! Do i have to feel priviledged now because i am Christian and therefore still elegible to attend my Interview ????

Is this even an official email??

Yes, it looks official. It doesn't matter if you're Christian - if you hold citizenship of one of these countries, you will not be interviewed.

I am German .. but this still leaves me feeling "lucky" that i am not born in one of the listed Countrys...  *sarcasticlyspoken*  It scares me to think of the possible consequences to this Order... i dont think that this the right thing to do :-(

Yes it is official. I researched it and found it also posted on Travel.State.gov website. https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/news/executive-order-on-protecting-the-nation-from-terrorist-attacks-by-foreign-nationals.html

Unfortunately it's only Muslims in those 7 countries. According to CNN, Christians from those countries will be allowed in.

I think you are lucky that you were born in a country different than those 7 countries not because you are Christian. So say for example you are a Muslim but born in Germany you will still be let in because there is no ban against Germany.

I don't see anything in the order you posted that says "muslim"

[Tine68 2]

just read the news...

Final summary

Donald Trump’s executive order to close America’s borders to refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries has been swiftly enforced. The order blocks to the US from citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya for 90 days and as well as indefinitely suspending admission of Syrian refugees.

The order does not (directly) bar muslims from the US. It bars citizens from those countries.

It does, but unfortunatly the majoritiy of these countries citizens are Muslim... and if you follow the news about this subject, it is what President Trump aimes for... I can not edit my Post or i would change the Topic to Citizens of Muslim-Countries

I've met Muslims who are not from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Sudan. I've also met both Christians and Jews who are from those countries. Well. Maybe not Somalia. One time, I even met a Muslim from Morocco.

 

Stop perpetuating this stereotypical myth that Muslims are from A, and Christians are from B.

Don't believe everything you hear on the news........This is not a Muslim ban.....The VAST majority of Muslims can enter the US.
