But civil rights groups and immigrant advocates say many more people were impacted by the policy, including those who were discouraged from applying.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Trump's Ban\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Shortly after taking office in January 2017, Trump suspended the entry of nationals from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/30/512438879/7-targeted-countries-react-to-trumps-ban-on-immigration\">seven Muslim-majority nations\u003c/a> and indefinitely banned refugees from Syria, arguing the measure was necessary to protect the U.S. from terrorist threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order sparked large protests at airports throughout the country and was challenged in the courts, forcing the administration to twice amend the language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the U.S. Supreme Court allowed its implementation, the ban went into full effect in December 2017. Last year, Trump expanded the restrictions to include some citizens from six mostly African countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mohammed Albarak, a Yemeni American man who works at his father’s corner store in San Francisco, is another U.S. citizen whose family was affected by the ban. Albarak said he didn’t even bother applying to bring over his wife from Yemen until recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since the travel ban was there, I knew I would have to spend so much time on getting nowhere,” said Albarak, 26, referring to the difficulty of obtaining a waiver, something reserved for people who could prove they suffered “undue hardship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albarak returned to Yemen in 2018 for his wedding. Last September, he came back to the U.S. to apply for his wife’s visa — and to vote for Biden, in hopes he would end the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albarak said he believes his family now has a better chance of reuniting in the U.S, though he expects the application to take more than seven months. In the meantime, his wife and 1-year-old daughter are stuck in a country engulfed in war.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can't imagine, like in three or four years when my daughter grows up, how would she even function psychologically and intellectually?” said Albarak, a graduate of UC Davis. “There's no schooling ... the situation is so desperate, you can always hear gunshots nearby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘What’s Going to Happen Next?’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Deroee, the anesthesiologist, fears for the well-being of his father, an ear, nose and throat doctor. The years-long struggle to get his dad a visa has taken a toll, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can definitely see some depression, anxiety and the feel of hopelessness in my father,” Deroee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]Deroee recently flew to Turkey to accompany his dad to a medical exam at the U.S. Embassy. The exam is a required part of the visa application, but it couldn’t be done in Tehran, since the U.S. has no embassy in Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes this is the last step his father must complete for an application that began in 2015, when Deroee’s sister requested visas for both of their parents. U.S. officials granted his mother's visa the following year, but required his father to undergo additional screening. Before that was completed, Trump imposed the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the family won a waiver to the ban, but then faced another barrier: a Trump proclamation that suspended certain visas to protect American jobs during the pandemic. Though that is still in effect, Deroee’s family succeeded in circumventing it after they joined a successful lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I look back at what we’ve been through, I don’t think it’s imaginable for whoever has not been through that process,” said Deroee. “All of us have been in this sense of suspense, of, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deroee said his father, who was 77 when the visa process started, has gone through several rounds of background checks, each of which can take months to complete. He hopes Biden’s administration makes that vetting process less onerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s proclamation revoking the travel ban also orders the State and Homeland Security departments to recommend ways to improve the screening of people who seek entry into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand it’s a necessary process, but it needs to be more efficient,” Deroee said. “The time and energy of these staff in government can be used in better ways, and they are being paid from our tax money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Calling it discriminatory and detrimental to national security, President Biden quickly scrapped the Trump administration's travel ban.

Everything was on track for the ceremony on April 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Malakoff’s fiance, Malte Schmidt, was stuck in Germany and wouldn’t make it to San Francisco in time for their wedding day. The travel ban barred him and other foreigners from entering the United States if they had been in any of the 26 banned countries during the previous 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted life in innumerable ways — with major tragedies such as job loss, illness and death, as well as less drastic aggravations, including canceled summer vacations, uncertain school plans, and the inability to be close to family and friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Countless American couples have had to rethink their wedding plans, as social distancing requirements have shut down hotels, restaurants and other venues. But for those getting married to a sweetheart from a different country, the pandemic has caused even greater obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the virus began surging early this year, Trump announced a series of increasingly stringent travel restrictions against other countries. In January, any foreigner who had been in China was \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/\">banned\u003c/a> from entry into the U.S. A month later, the ban was extended to Iran. As COVID-19 took hold in Europe, travel from those countries was prohibited in mid-March. At the end of May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-novel-coronavirus/\">Brazil\u003c/a> was included in the travel ban. At the same time, the Trump administration has halted most work visas and new green cards for would-be immigrants outside the U.S. through the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"travel-ban\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is not the only nation shielding itself from the outside. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-travel-restrictions.html\">Countries around the world\u003c/a> have imposed restrictions or completely shut their borders, in an attempt to curb the spread of the disease. And with no cure in sight, it’s unclear when those borders will open again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analysts believe Trump and other world leaders are using COVID-19 as a pretext to close borders. A crisis like this allows governments to advance agendas in ways they could not in normal times, says Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow with the Migration Policy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're not surprised that immigration restrictions are being put in place, because they have been part of the President's narrative almost since he took office and certainly during his campaign,” said Chishti. “The instinct in this administration is to be more careful. There is much more emphasis on screening people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Malakoff, 19, and Schmidt, 23, learned of the travel restrictions on March 11, they still had hope. The ban wouldn’t take effect until Friday, which would give Schmidt 48 hours to make the trip from Germany to the U.S. But then they realized he would only be able to enter as a tourist. His K-1 “fiance” visa hadn’t yet been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and without it, the government wouldn’t allow him to become a legal permanent resident based on their marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827317\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11827317 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany.\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-800x790.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1536x1517.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Savannah Malakoff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So Schmidt reluctantly canceled his plane ticket and the couple postponed the wedding.

Couples like Malakoff and Schmidt have to pass a \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#6\">rigorous review\u003c/a> in order to obtain the visa. In addition to providing police records, a medical examination and evidence of financial support, they need to show that their relationship is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proving they were in love wasn’t hard for the young couple. They met at a bible school in Quebec in late 2017 and started dating the following summer. They stayed in touch when they returned to their respective countries and visited back and forth for the next two years, staying with each others’ families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They require you to write out your whole love story with every detail to show that it's an authentic relationship,” Malakoff recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her it included presenting photos, private text messages and boarding passes from their flights to visit each other. “People say that you do crazy things for love. But [you’ll do it] if that's what it takes,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Malakoff about a month to complete the petition, which she submitted in early December. Many couples hire an immigration lawyer to help fill out the form, something she and Schmidt couldn’t afford. She’s taking college classes and teaching math, and he worked in sales for a construction machinery business in Germany. The fiance visa petition alone cost \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f\">$535\u003c/a>, plus another $265 for Schmidt’s travel document and additional fees for things like his medical exam, birth certificate, passport and document translation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Antonello Russo\"]'I think you just need to understand that there’s nothing you can really do.

In January, any foreigner who had been in China was \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/\">banned\u003c/a> from entry into the U.S. A month later, the ban was extended to Iran.

And with no cure in sight, it’s unclear when those borders will open again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analysts believe Trump and other world leaders are using COVID-19 as a pretext to close borders. A crisis like this allows governments to advance agendas in ways they could not in normal times, says Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow with the Migration Policy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're not surprised that immigration restrictions are being put in place, because they have been part of the President's narrative almost since he took office and certainly during his campaign,” said Chishti. “The instinct in this administration is to be more careful. There is much more emphasis on screening people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Malakoff, 19, and Schmidt, 23, learned of the travel restrictions on March 11, they still had hope. The ban wouldn’t take effect until Friday, which would give Schmidt 48 hours to make the trip from Germany to the U.S. But then they realized he would only be able to enter as a tourist. His K-1 “fiance” visa hadn’t yet been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and without it, the government wouldn’t allow him to become a legal permanent resident based on their marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827317\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11827317 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany.\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-800x790.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1536x1517.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Savannah Malakoff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So Schmidt reluctantly canceled his plane ticket and the couple postponed the wedding.

In addition to providing police records, a medical examination and evidence of financial support, they need to show that their relationship is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proving they were in love wasn’t hard for the young couple. They met at a bible school in Quebec in late 2017 and started dating the following summer. They stayed in touch when they returned to their respective countries and visited back and forth for the next two years, staying with each others’ families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They require you to write out your whole love story with every detail to show that it's an authentic relationship,” Malakoff recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her it included presenting photos, private text messages and boarding passes from their flights to visit each other. “People say that you do crazy things for love. But [you’ll do it] if that's what it takes,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Malakoff about a month to complete the petition, which she submitted in early December. Many couples hire an immigration lawyer to help fill out the form, something she and Schmidt couldn’t afford. She’s taking college classes and teaching math, and he worked in sales for a construction machinery business in Germany. The fiance visa petition alone cost \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f\">$535\u003c/a>, plus another $265 for Schmidt’s travel document and additional fees for things like his medical exam, birth certificate, passport and document translation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I think you just need to understand that there’s nothing you can really do.

So they must have vetted people very well before they can get one,” he said. “So to me, it doesn't make any sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his proclamation, President Trump said he decided to continue allowing temporary travelers — such as tourists and students — to reduce the number of people impacted.

But the government has granted more waivers since: A third of the 60,000 petitions considered were approved between December 2017 and 2019, according to the State Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the government has not provided clear criteria or guidelines to apply for waivers, and the process remains “opaque and arbitrary,” said Yousefzadeh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a version of the original travel ban to go into effect while lower courts consider whether it is constitutional. Last month, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia heard arguments from the ACLU and other organizations challenging the ban.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"travel-ban\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the pending lawsuits, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other advocacy organizations “are exploring all the options available to them” on the expanded travel restrictions, said Zahra Billoo, who directs \u003ca href=\"https://www.cair.com\">CAIR\u003c/a>’s San Francisco Bay Area office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To the extent that more countries are being added, that means that more people will be targeted.

At the information session for Eritreans in Oakland, immigration lawyer Gaime said the travel restrictions interfere with that. But she asked those affected to be persistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do not lose hope. Keep filing those applications and apply for those waivers ... do what you need to do, because this country belongs to all of us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community organizer Meron Semedar, also an Eritrean asylee, had another recommendation for naturalized U.S. citizens at the event hoping to roll back the travel restrictions: register and vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When issues like today, like the [travel] ban come, how do you address it?
