UPDATED: Information and Resources Regarding Executive Order Travel Ban

On Thursday, February 9th, 2017, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to lift the temporary restraining order barring implementation of the executive order banning travel into the U.S. by citizens of 7 countries (Libya, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen). Pending further review by the courts, this means that students and scholars from the 7 countries should continue to be able to be admitted into the U.S. and to schedule appointments for visa interviews at U.S. Consulates.
