Exceptions to the travel ban:
- Any U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (the references to “immigrants” being banned below I think is in reference to those seeking immigrant visas, but not holding permanent residency status yet.)
- Anyone admitted or paroled into the U.S. on or after the effective date
- Holders of certain other valid travel documents that are valid on the effective date
- Dual nationals traveling on passport issued by a non-designated country
- Diplomatic, NATO, C-2, or G visa holders
- Foreign nationals granted asylum or already admitted as refugees,, or those granted withholding of removal, advance parole, or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT)

- Denying entry would cause the foreign national undue hardship;
- Entry would not pose a threat to the national security or public safety of the United States; and
- Entry would be in the national interest.
I hope this helps and I’m sure there will be a lot of misinformation going around. This is not a legal document, of course, and you can always check with immigration attorneys to double check on this information.
