Assuming the executive order holds up, In the best case they will be allowed to reenter the U.S. after 90 days. The executive order suspends immigrant and nonimmigrant entry for only 90 days for people from specific countries not on a Diplomatic, NATO, UN, or International Organization staff visa.
- skywhopper 10y agoOf course, the 90 days is there to give them time to come up with a more permanent policy, which will as likely as not be worse. If any terror attacks happen in that period, they will turn the screws even harder.
- audeyisaacs 10y agoI suspect existing visa/GC holders will be allowed back in quickly once Tillerson is confirmed(better than 90 days). Not that that would mitigate how phenomenally short sighted and stupid the EO was.
- gotchange 10y agoThis suspension could be renewed very easily and even extended to other countries. There's a report on NYT [0] which fielded questions to Iranian officials and politicians looking for their reaction to this EO and they made it very clear that they won't share any sensitive info about their citizens with the US admin rendering them to be the most likely candidate to be permanently banned from entering the US esp. when taking into account that they top the list of those seven countries in terms of visa holders in 2015.
