TRUMP TRAVEL BAN
Trump preventing you from getting your visa?
We can help...
If the Trump‑era travel restrictions are blocking your immigrant or non‑immigrant visa from Iran, our team provides targeted, practical assistance to get your case moving. We know how consular processing, administrative holds, and travel‑restriction rules can derail plans — from family reunions and employment to study and tourism — and we work to resolve those barriers efficiently.
1. Immigrant Visas
What they are Immigrant visas lead to lawful permanent residence (a green card). We assist with major immigrant categories, including:
- Employment based: EB 1 (extraordinary ability, outstanding professors/researchers, multinational executives), EB 5 (investor visas), and other employment preference categories.
- Family based: Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (spouse; unmarried children under 21; parents of U.S. citizens 21+), plus family preference petitions (siblings and adult children).
How we help immigrant visa applicants affected by the travel ban
- Case intake & assessment: Review petitions, priority dates, consular location, and any consular correspondence to pinpoint travel‑ban impacts and next steps.
- Consular strategy: Draft concise cover letters and organize documentary evidence to overcome travel‑restriction concerns and clearly establish eligibility.
- Administrative processing navigation: Identify likely triggers, compile requested materials, monitor status, and submit targeted evidence to shorten hold times when possible.
- Waiver and alternative relief analysis: Evaluate if waivers, humanitarian exceptions, or alternate legal pathways apply and prepare supporting filings or statements.
- Advocacy & communications: Prepare communications for consulates, and when appropriate, coordinate with Congressional or legal advocates to request expedited attention.
- Interview and post‑approval support: Provide interview coaching, document checklists, and guidance on entry and green card follow‑up (including conditional residence issues).
2. Non Immigrant Visas
Student & Visitor Overview Non‑immigrant visas cover temporary stays. We focus on:
- Student visas (F 1, M 1): Academic and vocational study, SEVIS/financial documentation, timing for program start.
- Visitor visas (B 1/B 2): Tourism, short business trips, medical visits.
How we help non immigrant visa applicants affected by the travel ban
- Application review & documentation: Ensure DS‑160, SEVIS records, financials, and supporting documents clearly demonstrate non‑immigrant intent or bona fide student status.
- Scheduling & timing strategy: Advise on appointment timing, contingency planning for program start dates, and alternatives when consular backlog is expected.
- Administrative processing support: Prepare and submit supplemental materials that address security/background questions and reduce ambiguous delays.
- Interview preparation: Mock interviews, tailored answer framing for policy‑sensitive questions, and a focused document checklist to present at the interview.
- Post‑decision options: Analyze denials, prepare reapplication strategies, evaluate change‑of‑status options, or suggest alternative consular posts when appropriate.
