My relative is in Haiti with a pending immigrant visa. Are they blocked?

As of early-to-mid 2026, Haiti is in the full-suspension category, which makes new immigrant and most nonimmigrant entries the most difficult cases on the list. That said, exemptions and case-by-case exceptions exist, the litigation is ongoing, and much depends on whether a visa was already issued. Do not assume the case is dead — have an attorney confirm the current status before you make any decision.

Are Cuba and Venezuela treated the same as Haiti?

Not exactly. As of early-to-mid 2026, Cuba and Venezuela fall in the partial-suspension group rather than the full one. That generally means immigrant visas and the common visitor, student, and exchange visas are restricted, while certain other visa categories may still be issued, sometimes with reduced validity. The distinction can matter a great deal for your particular case — confirm your relative's exact visa category with counsel.

I have a green card and I'm from a listed country. Can I still travel?

Lawful permanent residents are generally exempt from the entry ban, so a green card holder from a listed country is typically able to re-enter after travel abroad. However, long absences and other factors can raise separate re-entry issues unrelated to the ban. If you are a green card holder planning international travel in 2026, get a quick review of your specific situation first.

My family member already has a valid U.S. visa. Is it canceled?

As written, the proclamation is understood not to revoke visas that were already validly issued; existing valid-visa holders are generally allowed to travel on that visa until it expires. The main exposure is for people who do not yet hold a visa. Protect an existing valid visa, avoid letting it lapse, and confirm current guidance before any high-stakes travel.

Is Nicaragua on the travel-ban list?

As of early-to-mid 2026, Nicaragua is not on the travel-ban list, even though Nicaraguans were affected by the separate end of the CHNV parole program. Being off the travel-ban list does not mean no rules apply — other immigration changes may still be relevant — but this particular proclamation is not the obstacle for Nicaraguan nationals. Confirm current status for your specific situation.

Didn't a court strike this down in 2026?

A June 2026 federal ruling struck down USCIS policies that had frozen the processing of certain immigration benefits for nationals of the affected countries. Importantly, as of early-to-mid 2026 that decision did not strike down the travel-ban proclamation itself, and an appeal was expected. So domestic adjudications may have resumed while the entry ban continued. Because this is a moving target, verify both the ban and the litigation status before relying on either.
