I was on an IR1 spouse visa. I was exempt from the travel ban and my issue was more getting flight. I got questioned by an official at check in, and cleared immigration in Newark. Is the O visa exempt in the Presidential Proclamations? I'm not too sure what would happen at the border with O but I heard on VWP you can get denied entry. It might be worth checking with the US embassy as they are re-opening now. You can call or email them. Sorry I can't help more.

 

 

 

Yes, we have valid visas, but it just doesn’t seem that they are letting anyone in - even with a visa - well, certainly not from the U.K.! It’s all such a mine field and quite confusing because there really isn’t much said about O visas!! 
Thank you for your time to reply though, I appreciate that.

I flew directly from London Heathrow to USA without a stay in Mexico but had to quarantine here (Denver, CO). That was end of April.

What visa were you on? Did you not have any issues at border control?

Assuming the border doesn’t close between now and then. That’s the issue with the 14-day “quarantines” in other countries, a lot can happen in 14 days and you could be stuck somewhere. It’s up to you if the risk is worth it. 

That is a very good point!! Thank you!

If you have a valid visa you can travel. If you are in a country currently banned due to corona virus then you will need to go to a non banned country for 14 days prior to arrival 

So we are in the UK - so if we went to say Mexico for 14 days, we could then go across to the US after that?
