I am so sorry to hear about this and I am ashamed to be an American Citizen right now. This is absolutely appalling and Trump MUST STOP his paranoia. This Ban will be in effect for 4 months at the least. Very Sad. Not my President.

Ok..so tell me how she is going to get on the plane to leave????? She already said she got called OFF OF HER FLIGHT and was turned away, so it doesn't matter where it's going into the US she won't be able to board. She can only wait and see what happens, very sorry for you, hang in there!

I don't have any problem with this (other then they should let people with current legitimate Visa's in hand). But other then that he is making some changes and people don't like it, sorry you feel this way but remember it's a privilege to come to the US, not a right...but things will get sorted out soon I'm sure.

In the ruling from the Judge in Massachusetts, it says that CBP must inform airlines landing at Logan about this seven day exception.

 

So OP, any airline flying to Logan should have this information. If they start arguing, pull up the ruling on your phone and ask to speak to a manager from the airline.

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.

Here's a link to the press release from Homeland Security saying they will comply with the court orders:

That's great news!

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.

I am so sorry that you are going through this right now. I cannot even imagine how awful this must be for you. So disgusted with this administration right now

But the court orders are only for people who were already on their way to the US when the EO was signed, no? I got the impression the court order was only for those detained at airports in US, that they can't be turned away and sent back.

 

I don't think anyone frpm those 7 countries are allowed to board any flights yet, visa or not. I might be wrong though.

I don't think the one by the Judge in Massachusetts is. That ruling states that it puts a seven day hold before Trump's exec order can be enforced and it says that CBP must inform airlines flying to Logan about this.

 

Now CBP might still come up with some other reason why they can't let a visa holder in but for seven days, visa holders cannot be denied based on Trump's exec order. As I understand it, this is for Massachusetts only.

 

So OP, I would contact TSA or CBP at Logan and get this confirmed as well as call e.g United, they fly between Istanbul and Boston.

Sorry to hear that , that's very frustrating , It was about to happen to me when I arrived at San Francisco airport and was kept for more than 5 hourse although I arrived just a day before signing that order.

I am shocked of Trump's list he included 7 countries in which no one killed any American citizen  or commit a terrorist attack in America, although there were 2369 American citizens killed by Saudi terrorists between the years  1975 -2015 .NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO comment .

The US immigration is very confused with all the Executive Order that Trump signed last Friday... A lot has happened during the week and I believe something will be decided this week.. hopefully it will be more clear on who can and who cannot enter, the types of visa etc. The best will be for you to wait and see what this week brings. Its been said from some government officials that green card holders will be allowed in. I know its not your situation, so wait and see... I don't think lawyers can help much either since the new Executive Order is not clear. I think a lot should be cleared out tomorrow since this was very polemic here in the US.  

 

I wish you the best of luck, I can't even imagine the pain that you are going thru right now. You will be in my prayers... keep strong
