My cousin is from Algeria. He was lucky to pass his interview back in February and obtained a DV-1 visa.
He booked a ticket but unfortunately, he was not able to travel to the US due to Trump s ban of flights from Shengen area which his flight was transitioning though.
I know there s another ban in effect on new immigrants.
Given that his visa will expire in army August, he is trying to book a ticket to the US with a stopover in Paris, France.
My question is: can he enter the US now?
If not on what basis he will be denied entry? Is it going to be because of the immigrants ban? Or because of transitioning through Shengen area?
Was any one able to enter the US with a DV-1 Visa recently?
Thank you for your help.
