About this episode

This episode discusses the implications of travel bans on obtaining a green card for nationals from affected countries.

A "banned country" typically refers to nations impacted by U.S. presidential proclamations or executive orders restricting entry due to security or foreign policy concerns. These restrictions have changed over time and may still impact certain nationals depending on updated policies. As of 2026, broad nationality-based travel bans aren't in effect under the exact same terms as prior years. However, enhanced security vetting and application scrutiny remains for applicants from high-risk countries that have created partial and full bans for certain nationalities. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos
