Hi 
 
For all those in my situation (dual citizens of the 7 countries), so a British like me born in Iran, I got my interview date today!!! For the 6th of March. 
 

Congratulations!! So happy for you.

Thank you!!!
I feel the pain felt by those affected and sympathise. I hope this situation gets sorted as we all deserve to be with our loved ones. 

Congrats and good luck!

Well said!!! ???

After searching the news and departments (DHS,USCIS,BORDER CONTROL, NVC) every hour for the last 3 days this is the first piece of evidence I have found. Hoping others like me can breath a little.

If you're a UK citizen, you should be fine.

My sincerest regrets go out to you for having had such a traumatizing experience.  It is unfair.  It is wrong.  Be happy you have your passport in hand. My husband's passport is stuck at the embassy, visa issued, only to collect dust as it expires or to be cancelled.  Waiting 90 days seems like an eternity, especially when you stop and think that logically, we aren't even being promised anything once those 90 days are up.  Hold tight to your passport.  
 
One member mentioned that coming to the US is a privilege, not a right.  I'd like to point out that we are all humans and humans don't have the privilege to choose where they are born.  Some Americans, however, seem to believe that a person should be held accountable for such a meaningless detail as place of birth.  We waited in line, filed our paperwork, paid our fees, attended our interviews, submitted to all of the same background checks as anyone else.  Don't remind us that to enter is a privilege; we see that it is a privilege being denied on an unconstitutional basis.
 
I've written my senators and local representative, but I am not optimistic. 

Good evening,
 
First of all, as a USC, I wanted to say how sorry I am about all of this. Remember that despite what he would like to believe, Trump is not a king - there are many people fighting against him every day to try to keep the new policies fair and just.
 
Second, Customs and Border Patrol have said that they are continuing to apply any rules or orders issued by the government, and for the moment this includes a ban on any traveler from one of the following countries: Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, Libya. Even if you have a valid visa, even if you have had your visa for months or years.
 
Third, Trump administration officials have said that "going forward" they will allow visa holders to enter. That means you. But they have not been clear about the requirements for this, although given the events of this weekend I think something will be figured out very soon. The ban was put into place much too quickly and they didn't think about how it would affect visa holders, so people just going on vacation have tried to come back home to the US and not been allowed in, which is untenable.
 
Finally, for anyone reading this who might be OK with the idea of banning people from arbitrary countries, remember this: if it can happen that quickly, almost on a whim, to seven countries, there is nothing preventing Trump from deciding that some other countries should be included in the ban as well. I for one am deeply scared that, given his previous statements about France, that he might make France his next target.
 
I am deeply ashamed of my President right now.
 
Good luck to you. If worse comes to worse, try to contact the Canadian embassy and ask what your options would be. At least it would get you in the same time zone.

Well said!!! ???

Who is to say they won't extend the ban further?!! we know nothing, even the lawyers no nothing. Obviously not knowing is going to naturally cause fear in people. But I agree that people should take responsibility for their actions. People have voted for him and now have to live with the consequences. 
 

Hello my friend.
 
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you have gotten more information by now. If not, all visas from Iran have been suspended for 90 days, including your K1 visa. There are many people on your side who are fighting this, and a court case has already been won today. Unfortunately, the ban is still in effect. Don't give up. You're not alone! At least, the ban for Iranians will likely not see past the 90 days, but you will probably have to wait again.
 
We feel your pain. This is horrible. Please message me if you have any questions or need anything.

Ironically, his wife was an LPR at some point. Doubt he recognizes that, as he paid lawyers to do the paperwork and her H-1B earlier on. More worrying is the fact that people on his staff are also absolutely clueless (fact that he is shouldn't be surprise to anybody). And we handed this man codes to ICBMs.... I hope there's at least one person in his vicinity that recognizes what pushing those button does...

It's fine. I understand trying to confirm the information. I do answer a lot of people all over the place on a daily basis sometimes I'm like "really" lol but It's not you. It's all good my dear. I hope its all clear now

If you plan on staying on VJ, get used to answering it many more times.

I was thinking the same thing. Uploading a picture would have been handy.
