If you have an Iranian passport stamp, I would expect very pointed questions at US immigration. I can't find a specific citation that says you need a visa if you've been to Iran, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
- kolinko 5y agoFun fact - in Poland you can get a second passport for such situations. You use one passport to visit Iran (etc), and the other to visit US, Israel and so on. I never needed this, but it’s good to have such an option.
- throw3838 5y agoYes, but if US ever finds out, it could get pretty nasty. US entry ban is pretty limiting career move for programmer.
- martin8412 5y agoJust no.
- midasuni 5y agoThat’s fine for visiting Israel (which rarely stamps nowadays) and Iran. The US specifically asks “have you ever been to Iran”. You can lie, then get arrested in the US, or you can say “yes”, and have to go through the time and expense to get a US visa. Forever.

I know of multiple French citizens born in "suspect" for the Americans places like Algiers and Beirut who have had extensive questioning on arrival at the US, including the mindbogglingly stupid " why were you born there?".
- kube-system 5y agoThat honestly doesn’t sound like a dumb question to me. People don’t just get randomly born abroad for no reason, it’s typically because their families were doing something there.
- sofixa 5y agoIt kind of is though, because Algeria was a part of France until 1962, and there are millions of people of Algerian descent who have French citizenship.

- kube-system 5y agoPotentially. But, families can also travel to places where they don't live. They can also engage in activities that are of interest to customs officials, regardless of their residency status. Rather than guessing, it's prudent to simply ask the question, no?
- blitzar 5y agoWell when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much... Its pretty stupid having to explain that to a 50 year old.
