Who’s the best source for interpreting yesterday’s travel ban language for the “partial” countries? My read is anyone holding passports from that list won’t be allowed in and future visas won’t be issued. 1) Eg it actually annuls existing visas? 2) what about LPRs from those countries?

(OMG "X-pats")

Thank you! I can't believe my inertia on this — you offered me an in so long ago... But I'm super happy for the help, thank you!
