****June 2025 Update: See our most recent updates regarding the 2025 travel ban here:

****April 2025: As of April 8, 2025, there has been no new official travel ban/Muslim Ban by the new Trump administration. There have been leaks of potential versions of the travel ban that includes colored tiers such as red and orange. From the leaked documents, Iran among other countries is on the "red list" which means a complete ban on any and all visas. This is ONLY a potential DRAFT travel ban. There is no official ban yet. Therefore, visa applications from countries such as Iran, Syria, Afghanistan are still being processed. We will provide an update as soon as we have one. There has been no official or leaked documents mentioning a waiver process for this new ban. Based on our years of experience at ImmigraTrust Law with previous laws and bans by Trump, we can help you prepare based on what we have seen previously. Please be in touch with us regarding your case and potential strategies as things change constantly, and there are always windows of opportunities that can come up with various lawsuits that occur challenge the administration's use of bans such as the Muslim Ban on Muslim countries.

****November 13, 2020 UPDATE: Mr. Joseph R. Biden has been elected as the President of the United States. He has promised to stop the Muslim ban/travel ban when he officially becomes the President in January 2021. Mr. Joe Biden has promised to cancel the ban on the first day he is in office. This is great news for so many families that have been separated because of this unjust immigration policy. However, it is still important to be vigilant and realistic that these changes may take time. First, Mr. Biden might not cancel the policy right away. Second, there might be lawsuits challenging the policy change causing the travel ban to continue and be in effect for several more months, if not longer. Third, it might take time for the Department of State and embassies to revise their practice and implement any new policies adopted by the Biden administration. Therefore, if you are from Iran and/or your family member is affected by the travel ban/Muslim ban, it is important to know your rights and options in these challenging times. You can read our article below regarding travel ban waiver options, administrative processing, and strategies for following up regarding your case if it has been severely delayed. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help any way we can.
