Can children of Iranian citizens, who do not have Iranian citizenship themselves, travel to America in light of Trumps new Executive Order?
Question is pretty clearly stated in the title. I know that by Iranian law, children of citizens are considered citizens themselves. But, what if this person/child, who is now an adult, has no Iranian citizenship themselves.
This person has citizenship in an EU country that is (of course) not on the list of effected countries.
Will US Immigration allow this person to enter the country? Will US Immigration consider this person to also be a citizen of Iran based on the citizenship of their parent?
Best Answer
There is no canonical answer for this question, at the moment.
That said, there's a good chance these children would be barred entry. In fact, this has already happened.
