It banned living a normal life, liberty and happiness.

The worst thing is waiting years for something so big and that will impact your life in so many ways and just before you are about to get what you have wanted, no need, a guy who claims he is "Making America Great Again" destroys it all. How is destroying US citizens' lives who strive for America and work for America making America great again?

I haven't seen him for 2 and a 1/2 years and he's never seen our 2 yr old daughter. I applied 2 and a 1/2 years ago and for 4 months he was under "administrative processing" waiting for his visa to be printed. For 4 months every hour of every day, that's what I was constantly checking-his visa status- to see if it has changed.

On Dec 4, everything changed for me, for our daughter and for my husband, for the worse. He has been in Djibouti for six months waiting and in the end he will have to go back to Yemen empty handed, not to mention the war and the current chaos in Yemen.

He couldn't finish his education because he had to travel to Djibouti for his visa interview. He can't apply here in the US, because he didn't receive a visa. I can't start college until he comes here because I won't be able to pay for college, attend college and raise a child on my own. My daughter and I can't even travel to Yemen because it is unsafe. It is even unsafe for him to go back and can't live in Djibouti any longer because of how expensive living there is, and the list goes on... of the things that changed because of the travel ban. Not being able to travel is how Trump and his supporters see this ban, but for people who have been affected by it, it's not just to ban travel. It banned living a normal life, liberty and happiness.
