About the Muslim ban (executive order 13769) I've searched about it and what I could understand is that people from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somali, Syria, Yemen and Venezuela are banned from entering the US or getting a US Visa.

My question is until when will the people from these countries will stay banned, and can those people now in May 2019, get a Visa for the US or enter it normally?

    Unfortunately nobody can read Trumps mind. – user 56513 May 22 '19 at 9:18

    Wikipedia says executive order 13769 has been replaced by Executive Order 13780 from March 6, 2017. The new order is still in force and is in essence similar to the order you have quoted. The wiki article also has a section on current status by nationality. As written your question is hard to answer (we cannot predict when POTUS will change his policy) and may be too broad (you may want to focus on a particular nationality). – RedBaron May 22 '19 at 11:09

    Note that the rules are actually a lot more specific that a blanket ban on all citizens from those countries, and vary from country to country, with different types of visas still allowed for some countries. – jcaron May 22 '19 at 11:17
  • Thanks guys for your great answers, So nobody from the countries above can get a Visa for US if he/she dont have exceptions?! – Ahmad Sh May 22 '19 at 17:50

    It's not a muslim ban. Christians, Hindus etc. from these countries are also banned, and Muslims from other countries are fine. Well, mostly fine. Now whether Donald Trump understands finer details like this I don't know. – gnasher729 May 22 '19 at 18:09
